Laurel, I just read those posts you just mentioned where Heather says a gram or two of SF makes a big difference. But then, why on earth does she recommend that C's get up to three tablespoons of acacia per day which is 22.5 g's!!!! I just took the numbers from that chart and added up my food fiber intake which came out to be 35 g's, now you add 22.5 to that, and I'm waaaay over the limit! It also says as a result your C will get worse. Additionally, it says this problem usually arises from taking too much fiber supple- ments, which is exactly what I'm doing . -Bob
