Hi there. I am new to this as of yesterday, so if I'm asking this in the wrong place, please excuse me! IT is also not my strong point, so I'm glad to have gotten this far! I have very loose bowels and I think that stress and anxiety plays a part! I started to take the tummy fibre about 5 days ago. I started on 2 half teaspoons a day and then increased to 1.5 teaspoons a day. At the same time I increased fibre food intake - ryvitas, veggies and oat cereal and I have had dreadful tummy pains and diarrhoea. I'm feeling deflated, so could you please advise me on whether to cut out the cereal etc and just build up your fibre powder? Should I stick to 2 half teaspoons a day or increase? Sorry for the TMI and questions! many thanks, Millie
