I have IBS-D. I am taking 3t of Acacia a day and it has helped. If I eat carefully I don't have D but my intestines are still very active. I am a long time vegetarian and while some vegetables and fruit such as cabbage and grapefruit make me very ill, it just seems that any vegetables or fruits can cause me problems. Bananas are the exception. I have started eating salmon which seems to digest quite well, any other meat is a definite strong trigger no matter how it is prepared. The reaction borders on the allergic, my diaphragm gets stiff and I have difficulty taking a deep breath. (Milk products, Advil, alcohol also cause this reaction.) For some reason I can eat whole eggs, on a diet of eggs, French bread, white rice and bananas I am just fine, close to normal.
I am wondering if increasing the Acacia will help me broaden the range of things I can easily eat. Is there any relationship between amount of Acacia that a person can take and a person's weight? I am very thin. (My parents, grandparents, great-grandparents were also thin.)
I will also appreciate advice from anyone on adding and increasing fruits and vegetables in the diet.
Thanks.
