I think you could even increase a little quicker than that, if you wanted to. Or do this first increase like you had planned, and if it goes well, do your next increase sooner.

I can't tell you what I did in teaspoons, because I'm not using acacia - I'm using Fiber Choice tablets, which are 2g apiece. I was a little slow at first, and hung at 2g, then 4g, for longer than I really needed to... but once I decided to increase more, I was able to go up 2g (1 tablet) every 4-5 days. And hopefully me relating my experience didn't just totally confuse you, since it's not the same fiber supplement at all!

The key is to increase it as quickly as you can safely tolerate, but still slow enough that you can recognize when you've reached a level that's good for you. I feel pretty good at 8g/day, so I doubt I'll try to increase more, even though the recommendation is 12-15g. Pacing yourself lets you see when you've gotten to that level.

Good luck!
