I think those amounts are the grams of soluble fiber. I started at 1 teaspoon/day and am now at 2.5 teaspoons/day of Acacia powder. I definitely feel better than when I was eating red meats and other fats and compensating for it with Imodium. I figured the fats problem out on my own a long time ago though, and I've still got an chronic problem, but I reckon there might be a slow improvement.
I made a half-hearted attempt at doing the Viscious Cycle diet back in college, but it was really hard for me to do it because I snacked a lot in class and when I went biking (I'm always hungry! so I eat a lot of food), and most of the food it suggested, I believe, was fresh food that wasn't easily toted around. I could be wrong though, I've forgotten a lot of what was in that diet. In any case, I thought that by eating only White Rice and Chicken and occassionally boiled carrots, which all seemed to be very safe foods, that the diarrhea would go away until I introduced a food that didn't work well. That doesn't appear to be the case though.
