Hey Beth! I was going back through my log, and Heather says that sometimes you need to wait a week or sometimes even longer in between increasing the dosage.......I went from taking a 1/2 tablespoon twice a day to 1 tablespoon three times a day a day within a week!!! I think that was WAAAAAY to fast of a jump for my system and that may be why it didn't work for me......I noticed that when I was complaining of diarrhea attacks, when I started taking the 1/2 tablespoon twice a day......I was only having 1 BM a morning instead of 6-10 like I usually was. But, when I was at 3 tablespoons a day within that same week, I was having really bad gas pains and alot more BM every morning again. It was probably a shock to my system. So, I think I will wait At least a week in between increasing dosage.....so I can monitor my symptoms more closely. I will let ya know how it goes!! I'm on here every day now that I had to quit my job. I need to get better, sooon!!! I have been out of work since Aug 2nd. Michelle
