I am very IBS-C and can't handle Citrucel, Metamucil, Koncyl or anyother shelf brand of fiber. I also can't tolerate wheat so that is half the issue for me. I can't stand the grit or drinking the stuff either. I was telling my doctor that after trying all of them that the Acacia fiber is the best and easiest to deal with. Mixing it in food is wonderful and it goes down without notice. No thick gritty drinks to suffer through each day. I've also found a company that makes the Acacia into tablets for easy use when I'm traveling or at a restaurant (when I didn't expect to be). I highly recommend the Acacia over all of the others and yes it does work. I originally wasn't using enough of it. I'm now up to 1 Tblsp at each meal and that is doing the trick for me. Now I just have to keep up with the drinking enough water so it will work well.
