Same basic guidelines....       06/12/12 05:20 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA start with a low dose of 1/2 teaspoon twice daily, and increase gradually. Add an extra 1/2 tsp to one dose every 4-5 days or so. Keep gradually increasing. Diarrhea would typically resolve at a lower dose (very roughly 1-2 tablespoons per day) whereas constipation takes a higher dose (very roughly 3-5 tablespoons per day). There's no magic number- just keep gradually increasing until you reach the dose that stabilizes you. That will just be a higher dose in general for constipation than diarrhea.
