Hi Andrew,
The SF does not bind me up instead what it does for me is produce a bulkier stool. Without it my stool is pencil thin and incomplete. I only take Acacia so I can't comment on whether or not you are taking too much benefiber.
I quit stressing about how much SF & IF I was getting with each meal, and just plan a well balanced meal which includes protein in the form of chicken or fish, a SF, an IF, & fruit.
I do take half a dose of Miralax every night. I have a solid but soft BM almost every morning, and on the mornings I don't go, I don't worry about it or even think about it. My goal use to be getting off the Miralax, but you know what, I don't care about it anymore. I am just glad I have a BM. So what if I have to depend on Miralax. That is one less thing I have to be stressed about. I'm trying very hard to get control of my stress. I feel that is the secret to controling my IBS.
