Here is one way to look at it: Konjac kind of "wraps up" whatever is eaten with it. However, the konjac itself is digested. So whatever it has wrapped up, will be digested too. Something similar happens when you take sups with food, esp. greasy food.
It doesn't hurt anything to take konjac twice a day either. If a person has stomach problems, I'd recommend it. I was having issues with ulcers ... the gastro found them during an endoscope, but didn't actually prescribe anything for the ulcers ... except prilosec, which I don't agree with as a cure for ulcers. Anyway, I had read that konjac kills h-pylori so that's about when I started taking konjac with each meal. Seems to have worked, at least, I don't have stomach issues anymore (How can one tell if the ulcers go away? I didn't know I had them to begin with, but I was having some stomach pain on occasion, now I don't).
Anyway, I didn't get any issues at all with taking konjac more often. I don't think there is any downside risk to experimenting with it. It's a bit expensive, but a very small quantity is used at one time (I think one tsp. makes a package of konjac noodles: it is very concentrated).

-- Thanks for your response Heather. I was thinking along that line concerning konjac and asorbtion...that it might just stretch digestion out, which, sure sounded good to me. I was a bit concerned about sups and meds though. Armour is taken on an empty stomach any way, but most of the sups I take are with food. Makes sense to me (& also a lot easier) to just be able to take konjac with my sups instead of food...from a Fast 5 stand point and also the fact that I'm up by 6am and never feel hungry in the morning until around 10 or 11 any way.
Thanks again,
