Are you sensitive to "gums?" Personally I cannot tolerate "gums." (Except xanthan) Every sf supplement has caused me obscenely painful explosive GAS and I refuse to waste more $$$ on them. Some people luck out with sfs--others have to rely on nature. Kate.

I get horrible gas from lentils (only bean I've tried), so now I'm scared to take the Acacia I have. Please, any advice???? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

I got HORRIBLE gas pains from it. I gave it about 3 months and never subsided. Citrucel (clear), works for me because it doesn't have the citric acid that the orange kind as. Hope this helps.

I could NOT eat lentils and can only infrequently have beans at all. Even houmous makes me gassy.

Reb Reged: 07/09/05 Posts: 987 Loc: Lake Linden, Mich in the U.P. IBS-C Hi Beth, I don't think acacia is a legume. From what I recall, it's an African tree that grows in the Savannahs and Giraffe's eat the leaves off it. I guess they get lots of SF then. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Acacia is from the legume family       #214265 - 09/19/05 08:32 AM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois After reading Wind's post, I did a quick search on the web.

Still scary to start new SFS...especially when I'm running out of choices to try! -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

Reb Reged: 07/09/05 Posts: 987 Loc: Lake Linden, Mich in the U.P. IBS-C Beth, I checked leguminosae, according to what I found on Google, leguminosae is a family of plants to which legumes belong, but not all leguminosae are legumes. I don't think any species of acacias produce beans. Heather should know what kind of acacia she gets her powder from and which part of the acacia it comes from. -Bob -------------------- <img src="http://www.math.mtu.edu/~rwkolkka/BritPicA.jpg"> Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     The problem with citrucel....       #214342 - 09/19/05 12:39 PM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 is that you have to take so much of it to get a good amount of fiber. And each dose of 2 grams fiber has 40 calories. To get to 14 grams of fiber or so, you would need to take this 7 times a day and it equals 280 calories. How much Citrucel do you take in a day?

I only take 1 scoop three times a day.......hmmmmm......it's not controlling the diarrhea. Do you think I should give the acacia fiber another try??? There's no way I could take this stuff 7 times a day, is there???? Thanks for your help!! Michelle -------------------- IBS-D.
