Sorry, I just didn't want to continue this thread in my journal... It's making it a bit difficult to keep track of my days because I view posts in flat mode.

without sounding too graphic - my issue(s) in the past have been hard stool create anal fissures - which cause bleeding. Will the powder create such a hard stool that i will be straining to create a bowel movement?

The Acacia powder should help with this - if you are C then it helps to soften and bulk up the stool and make it easier to pass. If you are D, then it should help absorb the excess water, making it more normal.

Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
