YES! I have been following this now for almost two years and I am IBS-C. I will tell you that I have had IBS for about 10years but was only diagnosed with it two years ago. It got so bad after having my son. I was down to 125 and for someone who is 5'9 and ususally around 150 that was dramatic. I started out very strict and I mean strict. I didn't eat anything with any traces of milk in it and I started taking the Acacia. I experienced gas and bloating for awhile but I was going to the bathroom every day even if it was only little poos. Eventually I started making recipes from the index which were a huge support for me because I started eating "regular" foods with substitutions and my hubby and family were supportive. Which I know not everyone has. Eventually after about 6 months I started eating more things that had traces of dairy in them like things like caesin. I wanted to see how I could tolerate them. I do just fine with things like this. But that's me and I only found this out from eliminating everything I could possible. I am almost 2 years into this and have had maybe 3 major attacks. One due to my fault and the other two when I got pregnant again and my hormones were crazy.

Acacia has helped me tremendously and I will tell you I stopped taking it after I got pregnant until I could talk to my doctor. It was the most miserable month of my life and that is where my two attacks came from. I am now back on it and very happy. Plus pregnancy has allowed me to cheat a bit which is a nice plus. When you are C you HAVE to eat IF. I try to at lunch and dinner for sure. Whether it be an apple with skin on that i can tolerate or veggies. You have to find a balance. But the other big thing is that I REFUSE to let this rule my life. Stress is my trigger and I try to eliminate worrying about my stomach issues. It makes it worse. I know I have repeated what many others have said but I hope this helps to hear from someone else.
