Did you slowly work your way up to 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day or did you start like that?
The container says to start off with 1/2 teaspoon 2 times a day, but many find that too high and start with 1/4 teaspoon 2 times a day. After about 1 week, then your increase your dose by 1/4 total. Then after another week, increase your dose by 1/4 teaspoon total.

If you take too much, too fast of any fibre supplement then you will end up with pain, bloating, cramping, and going to the bathroom too much.
