Allergies to SFS

Hi. I'm new to the board as of today. I was diagnosed with IBS in 1982. Since that time, I've had 3 really bad attacks that last for months. Otherwise, I have sporadic and mild IBS problems. Currently, I am experiencing the worst attack since my diagnosis. I began adding SF to my diet. First choice was Benefiber. It worked great, but after about 10 days, I noticed I began to itch. I thought it might be the Benefiber's wheat. I changed to Fibersure. Things were going great for about 10 days again. This past Monday I woke up with swollen eyelids and red blotches over my neck and chest. Also noticed that when I drank my doses, I began to itch more and cough. So, I guess I'm allergic to the inulin in the Fibersure, too. Did read on the internet that inulin can cause anaphylactic reactions. So, now I'm looking for a virtually allergen free SFS.

Has anyone had any allergy problems with the Acacia?

Thank you for your responses.

Have a great day,
Elaine
