Well, I'm C, but the part of IBS that really bugs me is the stress-related D attacks. Acacia helps loads with that, but on its own it doesn't solve my C.
My C is pretty much gone these days for the first time in my life (!), but there's a lot that goes into that: Heather's diet, acacia, making sure I get magnesium with my calcium, soy yogurt & probiotics, getting insolubles at every meal, hypnotherapy, lots of warm liquids, and exercise. Put all in one sentence, that sounds pretty intimidating, but I added things in slowly. Plus, they're things that are good for you anyway, and have positive benefits outside of the IBS relief.
In fact, the reason I've been gone from the boards recently is that IBS has been almost absent from my life! I've had a couple of small D attacks (given the amount of stress in my life lately, I wasn't surprised), so I needed a refresher...
