Hi and welcome. It takes building the acacia fiber slowly-following the instructions to a T-taking the time it takes for constipation. Some find it difficult taking the time it takes, especially when additionally weening off osmotic laxatives. Also, it takes more water intake and exercise than some are use to, to get the colon muscles used to working on their own again. See Heather's advise in her newsletter;Please read "How To Stop Using laxatives": http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html.
