I have found that if I make peppermint tea and let it cool down and then mix in the acacia I don't notice any taste and it disolves well.

I have also found that if I need to just mix it in water if I let it sit for about 10 minutes it disolves and the water becomes clear (still doesn't taste great though - don't breathe through your nose while drinking )

Hope that helps,
Leigh

My trick is ice cold water mixed with a fork or whisk and drink it really fast through a straw. If you don't stop for a breath you don't get extra air and there is less gas from the straw, also I can't taste anything with the straw and I haven't noticed any lumps. I prefer the Walmart brand of Citrucel tablets but I know I'm not taking enough! The things we do to maintain some kind of normal existence.

I take Fiber Choice --- I don't have any trouble with it at all -- and I know a couple others on here also take it without trouble -- but some have had gas with it. It is a chewable tablet -- and it works great! No more endless glasses of fiber filled water!!!

Each one has 2 grams of soluble fiber. So -- no - you don't. I was just like you -- that's why I looked for these --- and most tablets only have about a half gram of fiber.... these are much better. Here is a link about them:

Are the generic ones just as good?
I think I'm going to try these when I'm traveling on weekends. Thanks!

They do have small travel size tubes they sell which may be a good way to try and see if these work well for you.
