I just started taking Acacia yesterday. I was wondering, everyone said that they went up gradually. How much should I increased 1/2 a teapoon a week or 1 teaspoon a week? I don't want to add too much too soon. Thanks!

Hi there, I would start out slow. I would start out at 1/2 tsp for a week or two and then go up to 1 tsp. Then after a week or so add another 1/2 tsp to that.

Thank you, I will try that. I am a little scared of increasing.

Your welcome! I was too, I went to fast and it did cause some trouble. I would just go slow and if you do start feeling bloated or gassy just cut back again!

See how it goes. I would increase by 1/2 teaspoon for the first while while your body gets used to it.
