HI. My daughter was helped a great deal with her constipation by taking soluble fiber supplements. She is combining FiberCon tablets with Heather's acacia and is up to about 15 grams. This has worked wonderfully well for about 4 months but she seems to be having some constipation again - although its not real bad yet - but definitely affecting her well being, mood, and ability to function well. Would you recommend that she try taking more than 15 grams (is it safe to do that?) and see if that helps --and / or switch to another brand of tablets maybe? -- do you have to work up to it if you switch brands?-- Thanks so much for any help you can give us. She is at college and starting to have trouble coping again -- oh dear, this is so disturbing because she has so much else to deal with there.
