Missy Mags and I were talking last night, and we happened to get onto the subject of the correct dosage for our soluble fiber supplement. She takes Citrucel, I take Acacia.

Anywho.... Mags claimed that 1T = 2 grams. I said she was wrong, it's 1T = 2.25 grams. To prove I was right, I pulled out an unopened package of Heather's Acacia, turned it over to the back side, and got the shock of my life!

1T = FIVE GRAMS! EEEK! I've been taking too much SFS! No wonder I'm having extreme gas, urgency and unexpected D attacks in the fabric store and Post Office! And I was beginning to increase it even MORE! YOWZA!

Today, I didn't take any SFS at all, needless to say, and what a pleasure -- I have NO GAS for the first time in months! No poops either (VERY rare for me!), but I'm such a happy camper .....

SO, guys, check the proper dosage on your SFS. I'm guessing that the concentrations are different for each kind.

Think I'll go back to the fabric store now.....
