Hi,

I go through stages like that too. It's frustrating, that's for sure. I would say up your acacia intake gradually. I started out like you but then started upping it after my Dr. told me I should be getting 35-40 g of fiber a day. I take about 4 or 5 teaspoons a day. Also, when you get constipated, try peppermint tea and peppermint capsules. They really do work. It may take an hour or so, but you'll start to feel better. And do anything you can to relax a bit. I tend to get more constipated in the afternoon, so evenings I try to rest with tea/heating pad/hot bath when I can.....IF I can!

HTH!
