I'd be willing to bet it's just bloating.

Even though I've been feeling pretty good since starting the diet, bloating still bothered me until just recently. I tried Fennel tea and although it works for many others, it didn't make any difference for me. So, I began taking digestive enzymes, starting with Beano, which has only 1 type of enzyme, and that helped. I then changed to Omnigest EZ which has 7 types of enzymes and that helped even more. You take one pill with breakfast, lunch and dinner. I also take Heather's Peppermint Caps and its really remarkable what a difference they make!

If you feel good taking Acacia it seems like you should stay with it unless you feel uncomfortable. If it is what's making you bloat and not something you are eating, you could try adjusting the amount you take.

I started with Citrucel, which worked fine for me, but a few weeks ago I switched to Benefiber. Benefiber made me feel awful and I switched back to Citrucel after only a week.

Hope this helps & hope you have a great day!
