So well processed wheat flour is good?
If the list of ingredients does NOT say "whole wheat" you should be okay. Most pastas, white breads, and so on are fine.

So when you use the Acacia powder with the normal foods, you do not get an attack?
If by normal foods you mean cheese, ice cream, steak, alcohol, and so on, then all I can say is "I wish". Following Heather's guidelines - low fat, dairy-free, high soluble fiber, a careful incorporation of insoluble fiber, and no trigger foods - is the major factor that keeps my IBS in check. Acacia is just a way to get Soluble Fiber in me without having to consume tons of SF foods.
As for tweaking what foods work, I'm in the Strict Constructionist camp when it comes to Heather's approach - it works for me as is. Other people take a different approach. But my advice is to start by following Heather's guidelines as she lays them out and see how you do. Here's an old post I did that will direct you to what you need to know to understand Heather's approach:

And here's a very useful post about the dangers of assuming trigger foods aren't really bothering you:
