I'm IBS-D and acacia has been great for me, but different people do well with different soluble fiber supplements. If you do a search on "Acacia", you should find lots of posts where people discuss what it does and doesn't do for them and what other soluble fiber supplements they've tried and found helpful or not.
If you've only checked the message Boards, you really need to look through the whole site. Heather's help for IBS is not based just on a soluble fiber supplement, so relief is not just as easy as taking Acacia or any other supplement. (I wish!) Heather's plan is also based on avoiding trigger foods, basing your meals on soluble fiber foods, and eating insoluble fiber foods very carefully. Beyond what you eat, you can be helped by the use of some herbal teas (nothing too weird, so don't worry  ), exercise, and stress management.
This plan has been a Godsend for me and the people on the Boards are great, so welcome and I hope it helps you, also.
