Increasing Too Much Too Soon?

Are you adding too much at once? 3g. seems a lot to me.

Do you have any bloating? Gas?

I increased my acacia (albeit accidentally) too quickly and had a problem -- but it was mostly gas and bloating. It went away when I dropped back to my original dosage. I then SLOOOOWWWLY increased the fiber, and did just fine.

Do a search in here for fiber dosage recommendations. When I started on board here, I was taking in only 1/2g. fiber twice a day, and when I switched to the acacia, I had to start out with only a teaspoon twice a day. 3g. all at once really seems to me like an awful lot on your gut.
