No, it doesn't. Soluble fiber can't make anyone with IBS more constipated.       06/14/05 10:31 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Sometimes people don't take a high enough dosage, or they don't take the time to gradually increase their dose, or they stop taking laxatives at the same time they start taking a SFS. Or they aren't eating enough (or any) insoluble fiber foods. But soluble fiber (ALL soluble fiber - Acacia and otherwise) just regulates bowel motility and normalizes water content. Different people have their own favorite varieties, and the dosages people need can vary as well, but there is no such thing as soluble fiber making constipation worse. It's literally a physical impossibility unless someone has a disorder like slow transit constipation where they simply have little or no peristaltic movement in their gut, period.
