When I tried Acacia the first time I started with too much...and it made the C worse.

Me too....so I gave up. You only increased by 1/4 tsp a week? How much are you up to now? I guess patience isn't one of my strong qualities. It seems like this increase amount would take forever to get to an effective dose.

BTW, how much water do you have to drink? Can herbal tea count as water? I can't stand plain water.

It's always encouraging to hear of a success story from someone with C. I have so many doubts that it could help C. So much SF. Do you have to eat tons of IF to counter balance this, Mary? It also surprised me to hear that someone who had a rectal prolapse could benefit from this. I remember one poster who had this problem and the Acacia made you horribly constipated. I will never understand this IBS.
