Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

I'm IBS-A - leaning more towards C the last few months. I take a fairly large dose of acacia - I take 1TB 3x per day. I take one with breakfast, one with lunch and one with dinner. I worked my way up to that dosage very very slowly. Also, I can't stand mixing acacia with liquids - I just can't get it to dissolve enough so that I am not swallowing big mushy lumps. I think part of the reason is that I am impatient and want it to dissolve immediately. In any case, I find it easier to mix it with applesauce. Sometimes in the morning I will mix it with oatmeal. And if dinner includes a rice dish, I will mix it with that. Just to give you some ideas....I know there are others who pre-mix it in their drinks - so you could add it to water or cold herbal tea the night before and drink it the next day - it would definitely dissolve that way....

I would give it more time before you decide it's working for you or not.
