Like everyone else said, I imagine you're probably inadvertently at a too-high dose.

By the way, I know the site says that fiber won't make your symptoms any worse while you're adjusting, but this just isn't true for everyone. I am at one teaspoon of Acacia per day and it's taken me literally months to get this far. (I started out at 1/4 t.) I'm sticking it out because I feel I have to give it a fair shot and work up to a higher dosage before I can expect to feel any better, but at the same time, I wonder why I'm thinking this is logical. I mean, if a low dose makes me feel so cruddy, then why the heck would a high dose make me feel better? Acacia has been the best out of all the fibers I've tried, though, so I am still recklessly optimistic.
