Here's what I did with benefiber-- I started with one tablespoon at night. I don't want to start something on here, but that's what worked for me. I know they say to work up slowly, but with such terrible C going slowly did nothing for me! So, I now take a teaspoon in the morning and a tablespoon at night. I go at least every other day..usually every day! Which is a HECK of a lot better than not going for 5-6 days at a time!
