You're probably eating all or mostly SF and not enough IF. Even IBS-Ders need some IF to help things along. I'd suggest adding IF while continuing to eat SF to cushion it rather than eating trigger foods. Smoothies can be a good way to get some IF in safely - make with bananas, peaches, and blueberries, for example, to get a good SF cushion along with some well-pureed IF.
Also, you need to be sure you're getting enough fluids to help the Acacia do its job.
Benefiber and Citrucel won't make a difference because they are pure SF just like Acacia.
