After taking the Acacia fiber for just over 7 weeks(1 1/2 tsp twice a day) I had to to stop taking it for it gave me severe "C", eating IF foods did not even help, I also suffered with major bloating, gas. For years I have suffered from IBS-D, often after a bad flare I would be a little "C" but nothing to compare with this. Anyway, I am still battling it even though I am eating foods which should be helping. A friend suggested Flaxseed, she doesn't have IBS, evidently she has taken Flaxseed for many years and it helps keep her "regular" as she puts it! She uses the ground-up type, puts is on her cereals, in foods and even uses it when baking breads. After the Acacia experience, I am reluctant to try another new fiber, I have read up on Flaxseed and it seems to be beneficial in several ways. As I have become very skeptical, I would like to hear from those of you (especially those of you with "C")who are taking it or may have tried it, did it help, any adverse effects?
