Yea, my stomach got empty and then I got a really big gas bubble, somewhere in my gut and it made me nauseous until I got it out. I finally got it all out and now I'm able to eat again. Man, this is rough!!!!! Michelle

Once you get into a routine of eating a little something consistently every couple hours, so your stomach isn't ever really empty, you'll find the nausea easing up quite a lot, if not altogether. I had really bad nausea for a long time, and it turned out that letting my stomach get empty - and developing the big gas bubbles in my stomach - was the main culprit.
Good luck.

Thank you! I really do hope it does get better! I have been doing a tiny bit better, this evening. I have been eating a little bit, (bread and flour tortillas) all day long.......still have alot of gas but, fortunately, very little nausea. It's still there, but not as bad as it was earlier today. These huge gas bubbles are KILLING ME!!!! If I could keep from getting those, I think I wouldn't even have the nausea. It seems like the big gas bubbles are the culprit for triggering my nausea. Thanks so much! Michelle

I am not real sure on what to recommend for dosage. I take 1 heaping tablespoon 2 x a day, one in my malt o meal and one in my evening tea. Some days I go 3 times but I always go in the morning after breakfast. I am unclear on what signals a person to increase. I wish I could say.

I am glad to learn about that. I sometimes have a larger bm than a skinny one at the end but I think that is different. Anyway thanks for explaining!

I have only been on the Acacia for one day at 1/2 tsp twice a day and I'm already doing much better than I was on three heaping tablespoons of the Citrucel everyday. I'm not gassy and don't feel bloated and sick (nauseous)like I was before. I think this is going to work for me this time. I will keep you posted. This might actually be a good day for me!! I still took my Imodium this morning, though. Michelle
