Bloating is a killer! You have to try fennel tea with another tea if possible and with sugar or honey too. It does work well and you need to drink it often. I mix peppermint in with mine. Also if the acacia didn't work for you did you take another SFS? That is crucial. It sounds to me like your guts get into a 'twist' like mine do. Hopefully the meds will help, also exercise, eating often but small amounts, no gum or straws, drinking enough will all help. Primarily you should vary the diet some and try some foods besides rice, bread and pasta. I would get bloated with that too. But fennel and fiber supplement are super important.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
