Hey Jen!

Hans pretty much covered everything. You seem like you're getting your insoluble in which is good, because being C you especially need to make sure you get that.

I think the acacia would be great. Have you tried any of the fiber supplements yet? The acacia is great because you can mix it in your drink and you don't even taste it and it doesn't gel up. Unfortunately, it didn't work as well for me as Citrucel does, so I went back to Citrucel. BUT, acacia made me feel much better than if I'd had nothing. I say go for it!

The only thing I would add is to make sure you're getting TONS of water. And excercise.

You may also want to think about trying a magnesium supplement and/or probiotics. Magnesium helps with C (I use calcium, because I'm D). Try doing a search for the mag if you want more info - there's been tons of posts about it. I don't know the exact amount you need being a D-er.
