Re: Ok. Getting very discouraged......IBS-C       11/09/04 09:31 AM Edit Reply Quote Kimm Reged: 03/10/04 Posts: 1171 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada If you're IBS C (like I am) then you need to be eating a certain amount of insoluble on top of your solubles. Try adding some veggies/fruit into your diet and that should help. It's highly unlikely that the acacia is causing you more constipation....however...it has been known to cause some people bloating and gas for the first little while until you get used to your dosage. If it's giving you bloating and gas then try cutting down on your dose a little and that should help. Also it is VERY important that you drink LOTS AND LOTS of water when take a soluble fibre supplement (like acacia) or else it's not going to work properly at all. You could also try getting a little exercise each day....sometimes just going for a short walk will get things moving. Another hint...try sitting down in the washroom at around the same time each day...even if you don't feel the urge to "go"....this helps train your body to start feeling the urge around the same time each day and then you may notice that you'll start getting into a routine....
