Loc: Maine (IBS-A stable since July '05!)

Not to sound discouraging, but the diet takes time. I've been doing it since the end of May, and it wasn't until VERY recently - maybe 2 weeks ago? - that I started having any semblance of stability, and even so, I STILL have cramping. For some people, the diet works wonders immediately... for others, it takes a little more time. I know that "be patient" isn't the most encouraging advice, but... well, that's the best I have for ya!

Also, just starting the acacia could have something to do with it. When I first started taking an SFS, I noticed more cramping and D the first couple days, and sometimes even when I increased it. I know you've been on other fibers, but switching can do it too. If it persists, it could be that your body doesn't like acacia. But I should also note that I really didn't see ANY improvement from taking an SFS until I'd worked up (slowly!) to 7g/day. See how it goes as you increase.

Hang in there! Believe me, we all know about mental beatings.
