Hi - start with 1/2 tsp. of the Acacia twice daily. Increase slowly and steadily - if you go too fast you can get gas and bloating. Just keep gradually raising your dose until you feel stable.

The caps should be taken on an empty stomach about an hour before a meal. You don't want to delay the passage of the caps out of the stomach since they are meant to dissolve in the intestine.

I'd also make sure you take the caps with just enough liquid to swallow them. The enteric coating is impervious to stomach acid but it is water soluble.

The dietary changes in Eating for IBS you can make all at once, right away. This board is a great place if you have any questions about that.

Hope you're feeling much better soon!!

Best,
Heather
