Pages: 1 Gas and Acacia Fiber       #363509 - 02/19/11 02:32 PM Edit Reply Quote SBOND Reged: 02/08/11 Posts: 3 Can you take too much of this at once. I ask because I increased the amount and it seems to be causing me to have pretty painful gas. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Any ideas?

For acacia, most people start with 1/2 teaspoon twice daily, and increase by an extra 1/2 tsp to one dose every 4-5 days. Fiber is indigestible, so if you increase too much too fast it can give you gas and bloating. Best, Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
