I am IBS-A – meaning I get both C and D. The first few weeks into the diet I was still getting almost liquid attacks of D. I got very discouraged and almost gave up, but I kept going. It wasn't until I'd been on the diet for well over a month – if not closer to two months – that my D started to gradually stabilize. During that time I was also gradually increasing my Acacia, and am now up to 11 grams per day – I am trying to work up to 12 grams, which would be an even 2 tbs per day. The C seems to have cleared up, and I think the D is almost done as well. Actually, I haven't had liquid D for a while now (knock on wood!), though one day last week I did have a very soft BM that almost felt like it was going to be D. give the diet some time, don't cheat, and start to increase your Acacia. You should start seeing some improvements.

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
