Yes because it is a prebiotic I feel it helps keep me healthy as possible. I am more bloated when C and I am never C on acacia.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

Yes, I think about hypno, but my doctor doesn't think it would be beneficial to me just yet.
I don't understand this comment. Why not??? It sounds like it's the only thing you haven't tried yet. What are you waiting for? 
I really think you should try the acacia again. I've been using it for six months and I'm STILL increasing and trying to find the right dose. It's a very slow process, but it's definitely helping!

My questions as well! I look 6 months pregnant at night and find it hard to walk around. In the morning, I look fine and can even see my ribs.......
I'd like some additional information as well, secrets from others who suffer from bloating!

Also, I found that I had to remove all herbal preparations from my diet too because they were mainly ground plant material composed mostly of IF.
Not sure exactly what you mean by all herbal preperations. Do you mean all herbal teas, peppermint capsules, probiotics,any calcium and magnesium, and any other store bought supplement?
Thanks Syl

I was talking about digestive enzymes in particular. Some digestive enzymes like the one found in beano is derived from cultures so it contains relatively little IF. Others like papian is ground up plant material - mostly IF. This is true of may other herbal preparation that come in pill or capsule form too.

So, do you think the other things I mentioned are okay?
You don't take anything do you?

I don't take any digestive enzymes or herbal preparations other than lactase for digesting lactose in milk. I have found that most of them produce too much gas/bloating and D probably because of the IF.
