How much acacia are you taking per day? If you haven't worked up to a full dose (9-12g) a day, that might be part of it. And have you tried any other SFS? I know that some people have problems with the different fibers... I couldn't take Citrucel, I know some people can't use Metamucil, and I've even heard of people not being able to stomach the Acacia. Is it possible that that's bothering you?

I'm going to assume you've actually had an IBS diagnosis, with all the tests involved, that ruled out anything more serious.

I felt somewhat better after about a week on the diet, but it's been 7 weeks, and I'm still not stable. I can pinpoint my problem, though - I'm still at a small SFS dose (6g/day) and I don't eat enough (long story). I also found that exercise is a trigger for me! I can do some nice slow-paced walking, but even yoga is too much for me right now.

Just some thoughts...
