I do take it everyday. I have now for two years. If your DR. says its ok to take everyday, I would trust him/her. I do take the acacia fiber. I take anywhere from 3-5T/day. I also get at least 20-30 grams of fiber from food as well. I eat a lot of fruits and veggies. When I have my IBS under control for a few days, I eat berries with breakfast, grapes with a snack, green veggies and salads with other meals, for example. However, I make sure to have a SF base with my meal. If I eat salad, I make sure to eat some bread first, or when I eat roasted veggie and penne pasta, for example, I eat some pasta first then start on the veggies, and then eat more pasta. People with C need the extra IF to keep us regular. The berries, greens, and other fruits supply this IF. If we only ate the SF everyday with no IF, it would be very difficult to stay regular. Does that make sense? People with D do not need the fiber amounts that we need! I think my average fiber intake is anywhere from 35-50grams/day. Oh, and you can start working in some whole grain wheat, SOMETIMES. I eat more whole grain rice, barley, oats, etc., than I do wheat. The wheat can be very difficult to digest even for people with C.
