I don't know if it would be considered a dose, exactly, as it's really a food. I've seen recommendations for 2 tbsp/day, though I think that is primarily for the nutritional benefits, and not for IBS mgmt. Personally, I take a little over 1 tbsp 3x/day (i.e. abt 3 tbsp over the course of the entire day), and I have it at the end of each meal. I take it ground (you can buy it whole, or ground as flaxseed meal) as I'm assuming this breaks down the fiber somewhat, as per Heather's recommendations. I dissolve it in a little liquid (it's very tasty in soymilk--though not on Passover if that's a consideration-- it's fine also in a little warm water). As with all things, everyone is difft so you'll pbbly want to experiment with it. Also, I built up to the 3x/daily gradually to allow my body to adjust. Good luck---if you are able to tolerate it, it not only helps manage constipation, it's supposed to be very healthful (omegas etc.). Good luck with it.
