Start with 1/2 level teaspoon, twice daily. Add to empty cup, then stir with a fork as you gradually add room temperature liquid. Let rest a minute, stir again to completely dissolve. Does not dissolve well in boiling hot or ice cold liquids, but once fiber is liquified you can boil or chill beverage. Or, stir into any moist food.
Gradually increase your dose. Add an extra 1/2 teaspoon every 3-5 days and keep increasing until symptoms stabilize. Use twice daily for best results.
