Low doses of Acacia question       09/26/05 08:43 AM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois When you take only 1/4 tsp of acacia, do you still mix it in water? I am only taking 1/2 tsp at a time, and I'm afraid I may be losing some of it (or a lot of it) on the sides of the cup or even on the fork. Do most people take the Acacia in food? I wanted to take it before the food so I could have serve as a buffer for my IF. But it won't work, if I am missing out on the full dose. I haven't been going at all yet. I'm at 1 1/2 tsp a day. I did go down a lot in my total fiber amount, but just felt safer doing this even Heather says you can start acacia at the equivalent fiber dose as you were taking before. Do you think I should bump it up...considering I'm so darn C! But won't this cause other problems (bloat, gas). It is a different form of fiber. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
