My usual IBS-C spiel:

1. Are you getting enough insoluble fiber (IF)? You need to get some with every meal! Slowly increase the amounts until you get relief. Use fruits and veggies to do this - whole grains are a little more problematic.

2. Are you getting enough to drink? Aim for at least 90 oz. of liquid a day.

3. Are you exercising? You need to move every day so you can, er, move every day. Temporarily increasing the intensity can help when you're stuck in a C phase.

Acacia alone doesn't fix IBS-C. What does is eating IF safely along with SF at every meal, and getting enough fluids and exercise.
