Hi,
Unfortunately I recently had a relapse after having a nice clear IBS free run for several months. I'm back to being free and clear again but had to see my gastroenterologist a month or so ago.
I am IBS D and have never really found a soluble fibre supplement that has suited me. I have tried them all, including acacia, but none have really helped. The best was psyllium, but this did give me bloating after a while.
The doctor suggested 1 teaspoon of normafibre (taken dry without water and then followed by a couple of glasses). This has worked wonderfully well. I am finally having normal bowel motions, no wind or bloating. The fibre looks far from appertising, but tastes kind of minty and is easy to swallow. Its made from acacia which is a native plant and it bulks up the stool, slowing down the speed it evacuates, therefore cutting out the wind and pain.
Anyway, it really works for me, so if any Aussie is having problems with finding a sf that suits, it could be worth a try.
As well, I have recently taken up yoga, still keep up the diet and still listen to Mike's hypno tapes, so have all bases covered. I figure if they all help, why not - they certainly don't cost me anything except effort and time.
