If your digestive tract is sensitive, a gradual approach is essential. Begin with a very small amount—a quarter of the suggested serving or even just a pinch of powder—mixed into a large glass of water or a meal you tolerate well, like yogurt. Consume this with plenty of extra water. Monitor how you feel over the next 24 hours.
It's common to experience some initial gas or bloating as your gut microbiota adjusts to the increased fiber intake. This often subsides within a few days. If you tolerate the small amount well, you can very slowly increase the quantity over the course of a week or two, never doubling the amount from one day to the next.
Pay close attention to your body's signals. Avoid use entirely if you are currently experiencing active stomach pain, cramps, or intestinal irritation. The product is intended for general dietary enrichment, not for use during acute digestive upset.
If you have a diagnosed digestive condition (such as IBS, Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, or a history of bowel obstruction) or are taking medications that might interact with fiber (like certain antidepressants, diabetes, or cholesterol medicines), it is important to consult your doctor or a pharmacist before starting any fiber supplement. They can advise on timing and suitability for your specific situation.
