Acacia Tummy Fiber       06/11/13 06:15 AM Edit Reply Quote mradams1 Reged: 07/12/10 Posts: 206 I'm a little confused about the statement below; 'For the powders (Acacia Tummy Fiber, Citrucel, Benefiber, Metamucil) start at 1/2 - 1 teaspoon twice a day and over the next week or two (or three or four) work up to 2 tablespoons twice a day, or whatever is the equivalent of 10-12 grams of soluble fiber per day.' As I understand it each tablespoon of Acacia contains 6 grams of soluble fiber. If you were to take 2 tablespoons twice a day (4 tablespoons total) would that not equate to 24 grams of SF per day? Not 12 (2 tablespoons per day) as it says above? -------------------- IBS A. Managing my symptoms with the EFI/FODMAP diet and probiotics. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
