I was feeling backed up on day 3 of phase 1 so I took just one rounded teaspoon of the fiber around lunchtime. On day 4 I was, shall we say, moving a little better in the morning but then had cramping and....um...too much of a good thing mid-day and evening. I haven't needed the fiber supplement since, and I don't do much of the beans. I think it just took my system a day or two to adjust.

    By the way, I'm new here, and feeling a bit awkward starting off with such a personally revealing post!! (But I wanted to catch you before you took too much!)

    Thanx for the advice Erika, and welcome to the forum
