Hi,

I am trying to figure out my acacia dosages and my biggest question is this...somewhere back on the message boards from years ago I read a posting by Heather that said that the general rule for diarrhea is to use up to 12-15 grams SFS daily and if you you still have diarrhea, it is something other than IBS. I do know that I have IBS and I don't have diarrhea anymore, but I also do not have bulk stools yet either, except sometimes in the morning, if they are not a bit diarrheaish. Later in the day I just seem to have more gas and small stools. My acacia dosage right now is 1 T in the morning, 1 T before dinner and 1/2 tsp. before bed. Should I stop increasing or should I keep going until I have bulky stools? I'm approaching that 12-15 g/day mark that Heather mentioned so I'm wondering if it is pointless to raise the acacia anymore. Any help would be so appreciated!

Kathy

* Anyone prone to diarrhea/looser stools had to go up to 4 TBSP acacia before they stabilized?
