Let me take a shot at this
Acacia: 2 1/2 teaspoons before each meal
Cal/Mag: can't remember the brand, but the amount is right. The last Cal/Mag I used was chelated Natural Source that I bought at a local HFS, I just ordered some more from I-Herb.com, also chelated and it was Natural Factors I think. My rule of thumb is no more than 750/800mg of cal and at least half that in Mag and I don't have a problem with more C. The liquid I used was Lifeway brand that I ordered from Puritan's Pride. They also have a chelated cal/mag supplement that is highly recommended.

Digestive Enzymes: I think they helped some, but not a tremendous amount. I just did not want to give up my BC pills for patches and other methods, so dropped the enzymes. The probiotics are much more helpful!

Omega 3-6-9 I used was not refrigerated and I ordered it from I-Herb also...currently using a Natrol brand I purchased at wal-mart, also not refrigerated. I keep it dry, out of light and cool not cold. I think it has been fine, and yes I take it at each meal along with the other stuff.

Water is KEY!!! Not tea for me...WATER!!

As to the IF's, you'll have to play around with that and find what works for you. I can actually tolerate and apple with the peeling at times, so I'm an exception to the rule I think on that deal. IF's do give me some gas and bloat - I'm not claiming freedom from all that lovliness - but it is tolerable with the help of the other supplements.

Bottom line, SF before any meal, plenty of water to make it work, and the rest, as they say, is history! I'm sticking with the Omega's with a secondary motive, and that is supposed to help with heart health, and I have a heart murmur, and also help level out hormones, and I have HORRID PMS!

That's my story! Right now, I'm ordering everything I can through I-Herb.com, and picking up some in-betweens at the local pharmacy and wal-mart. The HFS's are not convenient to my home, so I only get to shop there when I'm in the area. Hope this helps!

Trial and error is part of this, so take it slow, introduce one thing at a time and give it time to work. Happy afternoon!
