Acacia Problems???

I've always been IBS-C but pretty much in "remission" for almost 10 years. But then if I'm not careful and I don't "relieve myself" properly for a few days THEN I get the horrible labor-like pains and then the diahrrea!! Well, I started Heather's Acacia 2 1/2 weeks ago and am now experiencing the diahrrea every morning about 4 times with AWFUL pains. I've been late every day to work. The dr. gave me Xanax and Vicodin 2 weeks ago. I only take the Xanax on rare occasion but have had to take Vicodin twice a day JUST TO SURVIVE and then ran out of that and went onto ULTRACET for the pain!!! It's all I can do to stay at work each day and then go home and deal with hubby and the 4 kids!! I'm also on Bentyl which seems to be doing NOTHING! I've also lost 8 pounds in the last 3 weeks and only eat white rice, french bread, pretzels, graham crackers and oatmeal...........and just a tiny bit of those things each day. I'm going back to the dr. today............hopefully to get different meds. I'm wondering if the Acacia is causing problems........I started out slow but it doesn't seem to make a difference. By the way, I'm usually only stress-related IBS.....I mean even though I'm constipated often, I can usually fix that by eating lots of fruit and water each day. Any advice??
