I am currently taking Heather's fiber supplement - 3 TBLSP in the morning. Yesterday it worked great - today I am bloated and have horrendous bowel sounds. Suggestions please - thank you.

Wow did you just start the Acacia? If so that is way too much to start out with! I have been on it a couple of weeks and I'm only taking 1 tsp 3 times a day. You have to work up to it slowly. I actually am going to cut back for a few days. My stomach has been really bad and I think it might have to do with to high a dose! So start out with maybe 1.tsp in the morning and night. See how you do and then gradually go up from there! Look at this it might help!web page

p.s. you might get a better response if you post this on the IBS diet board. The living room is for non IBS stuff!

Good Luck!

Good point Steph! Also, the soluble fibre supplements take a while to start working properly. So drop your dose and then stick at it for a few weeks even if you get bloated. It's worth it!
