Thanks "Atomic Rose" for your help, as I'm new to the Acacia Fiber I haven't known what to expect and wondering when would I become "normal" again! I increased the fiber a little before I ate last night and took a peppermint capsule too for the gas is always worse after eating dinner with IF in it. Sure enough I became bloated but at least was able to release the gas, this went on throughout the evening about 10PM I finally had a BM, it wasn't really "D" but soft and not formed. I took some more fiber around 1AM and tried to sleep, wasn't easy as I was up several more times with cramps and several more of these soft unformed BM's (sorry to be so explicit). This morning my gut feels like it was used for a punching bag but at least I'm not "C". I read about incomplete evacuation of the bowel and this is what seems to be happening to me now. I do drink a lot of water, peppermint, fennel teas and I do keep pretty active. I am thinking the SF can't really bulk me up because I'm still not eating a lot of IF foods for they make the bloating and gas worse. In the past I never had bloating and gas to this extent, I take "Culterelle" each morning which is supposed to combat the bad bacteria, maybe I need to change to something stronger, I just don't know anymore. Thanks again Atomic Rose, I feel so alone with this.
