Hi there,
Since acacia is purely soluable fiber, the purpose of it is to make your BMs more formed. So yes, increasing the acacia can help with that. Again, you probably want to increase slowly, say add another 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for a few days, see how you do, and then consider increasing more. There is no exact science, and unfortunately (or fortunately!) everyone is different. I have been on the diet for 3 months now, and I'm still learning to balance everything -- I don't have many days when my BMs are what one would consider "normal" but I have less urgency and they are more formed, so its certainly an improvement. I know we all wish we could have miraculous results overnight, but that's just not how it works  Keep hanging in there and I hope you continue to feel better!
