I did some checking online and guestimated my usual fiber for a day. It came to 38-48 grams (from conservative to liberal).
My daily average diet I figured like this; everyone please check for accuracy and what you think 
1T acacia 6g
cereal with soy milk or good bowl oatmeal 4-5g
banana 2g
bar, either cereal with 2g or luna with 4g or nuts
1 fruit, either apple, pear,orange, grapefruit etc depending on time of year 2-3g
lunch I guessed 2-5 grams, varies a lot
banana 2g
pineapple large amount 3g
dinner I am saying about 7g with all the veggies, but could be lower at times
cereal or something in evening 4-5g
acacia 6g
I think 35g a day is very conservative estimate of what I eat and guess 45 is closer. There is a diet out there that is centered on eating 35 grams a day and how you'll lose weight from it. Hmm I dont believe it!
So tonight I had a heaping tablespoon acacia in hot choc soy milk and will have a heaping T for a week and see how that goes. I felt better today. I kind of don't want to be feeling good when i finally get my GI appt which will be sometime in December. Of course I want to improve, but I don't want to go to the appt and say "I am doing better, oh well whatever," I want to go and try to finally get some help!
