I posted that I take one tablespoon of Acacia three times a day, and have heard from two people that it's a high dose. Is it too high? I thought that was the dose to aim for. I'm IBS-D.
I've also posted that I wonder if Acacia coats the intestine, but haven't had any responses. I notice that it makes my BMs quite sticky (even if they're loose).
I seemed to stablize at a bit of a lower dose of Acacia, but thought it would be easiest to go for a whole tablespoon.

As I just posted in another thread, try going to 2T a day. The higher doses are recommended more for C's than D's. Try 15g a day (2T or 2t 3 times a day) instead.
