Hi there - Well, make sure your dose is only 1 level measuring tablespoon at most. I just posted a bunch of info in another thread about Acacia dosages. 1 T at once would be the max - you'll probably want to work up to that, and start out with 1 level teaspoon at first instead. You'd also need a good-sized glass of liquid for that 1 T, as it's over 4 grams of soluble fiber.

The acidity of the juice may be affecting the way the Acacia dissolves. I haven't actually tried the stuff in cranberry juice myself. Try dissolving it in plain cold water instead. You can also dissolve it in just enough water to liquify the Acacia, then add your cranberry juice to the glass. I also stir it with a fork - let it sit for about 30 seconds, then stir it again. That gives it a chance to really dissolve. The stuff won't thicken or gel in the glass so you don't have to rush to stir and then drink it.

Let me know what happens.
