As Heather says, the bloating is one of the hardest symptoms to get under control, but it can be done. Many of us, including myself are living proof!!
Fennel tea is good for the bloating so it's good you're drinking that. I think you can even drink more. Also there are some yoga poses on the Yoga board specifically for gas and bloating. There's also a list on the main website of gas-producing foods to avoid if you have a lot of bloating. Finally, just in case you haven't tried them there's an over the counter product called Phazyme or Gas-X that has really helped me. There are store brands that are cheaper, too. The active ingredient is simethicone. I take two extra strength caplet every morning and combined with Heather's diet and soluble fiber supplement, I can't remember the last time I was bloated. Oh, you can increase the acacia too, gradually. See the sticky post at the top of the list about fiber supplements and dosages.
Good luck and don't get discouraged. Your body just needs a little more time to heal and get stabilized. You're not alone and you're doing everything right, so keep up the good work!
