Hi. I was on a fiber blend (psyillium, senna, other herbs) that said it was not addictive (didn't do my own research) and after 2 years noticed that the last few months it wasn't being as effective and I needed to take 3 caps instead of 2. It freaked me out so I went off cold turkey 2 months ago. I'm back to my pre constipated state but have been taking straight fiber now and getting roughly 25 to 30 grams of fiber in each day ( 15 in sfs) about 75 oz of water. I started with citricel and a week ago incorperated acacia slowly. I am still not going much. I feel so backed up and bloated. I used to only go maybe once or twice a week and I am going a little everyday but with all this fiber I'm getting I feel my colon has got to be traumitized and getting stretch out in there. Does this fiber thing just take time or what, it's been 2 months and I'm really hoping the acacia helps? Thanks for any info
