Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Reaction to first dose of SFS...please HELP

hey everyone. I have been really excited to start my acacia, so yesterday evening I took 1/3 of a teaspoon with applesauce and straight away ate a huge dinner of barley, sweet potato, asparagus and carrots (very safe dinner for me). Everything felt fine, bit gasy, nothing out of the ordinary.
I woke up at 2am and had the WORST D I have had since a ten day course of strong antibiotics - I mean, the D was comparable to that! I had been constipated for a few days, I am IBS C predominant with a touch of A. The only things I ate yesterday are time tested safe foods for me. I can only believe it was that tiny portion of acacia that knocked me out like that. It wasn't fun and has made me really scared of it. Is this normal??????? What the hell happened? I am starting to think crazy things like 'maybe I don't have IBS', maybe its something else? I mean, I eat loads of fibre everyday in the form of oatmeal, fruits, brown rice - food (apart from a bad curry in India) has never given me D like this before..
I really need help...thank you so much...off to eat a load of french bread...
