Re: Acacia       12/18/03 09:17 AM Edit Reply Quote sugar Reged: 02/08/03 Posts: 223 Loc: Calistoga, CA I've been taking Acacia for a month now. I take 1 tsp. a day. I've been taking it before I eat. I was also on cholestramine and I found myself getting very constipated so I decided since my insurance company doesn't want to pay for the cholestamine that I'd ease off of it and just use the acacia. I was taking acacia every other day with the cholestramine every other day. Then I went to taking Chlestramine every 3 days and then I stopped taking it for 11 days. I took acacia 1tsp. every day. I was doing okay except for occasional bouts of constipation. Which is highly unusual for me. Then all of a sudden three days ago I got terrible pains in my bowel, back, etc. (I swear it felt just like labor pains). After two days of that I took my cholestramine and a couple hours later I had the pain but I was able to release it by going to the bathroom 5 times. Now I feel bla and sore and I'm thinking I will continue with the acacia and take the Cholestramine maybe every 4 or 5 days. I know the dose of acacia that I'm taking sounds small, but the cholestramine I take is 1/8 of a tsp.. I just don't need much medicine. All the medications I take are in tiny doses. If I take more they knock me out or cause problems. So any idea what caused this bout of terrible pain? I had no idea what to do about it except suffer and sleep. Any ideas anyone? Does anyone else feel like they are in labor when they get this? I hope this wasn't to confusing to understand. -------------------- A Safe Place Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
