Just a thought but did the Metamucil you used contain a laxative? If you use a laxative your gut become dependent meaning you'll have to wean yourself off the laxative and on to the acacia.
Other than making sure you get you two liters of water a day and matching your usual dose this is the only thing I can think of.

Yes, if you can eat during pregnancy. Acacia fiber is just the same soluble fiber you eat without the food.

"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!
