Hi - hang in there, this should get better as you gradually increase your dose. You are only at 7 grams per day total, and you can absolutely take it in two water bottles. You are always better to have more than just one dose per day, as soluble fiber has to be in your gut to work.

For perspective, constipation can take up to 20-30 grams per day (there are 6 grams of tummy fiber per tablespoon). A rough average for diarrhea is 5-15 grams - there is a wide range. So if you are at 7 grams, you have plenty of room to gradually increase and still be right in the middle of a typical dose.
