In response to Darla's message...
I have been following the EFI diet since about Oct. 2007 (with some setbacks from time to time). I also started the acacia fiber at that time too, SLOWLY increasing the amount to what I am taking now (1 and 2/3 tablespoons twice a day). Also take 1 or 2 peppermint pills per day, too and take a probiotic as well. I have been reading the forums on this website too, and some people find immediate relief from the acacia, some do not. I did experience cramping, D, pain and nausea, my usual IBS symptoms just until about 2 weeks ago where I am now just starting to feel like finally everything has settled. For me, that meant 7 months before experiencing relief. With the help of this website and the encouragement of it's readers (even though not directly to me personally) I have continued to follow the guidelines and I am now so happy that I have stuck it out. I've stayed with an acacia dose for a month sometimes before increasing the dose another 1/2 teaspoon just to have my body get used to the additional fiber. I firmly believe that the acacia fiber and diet alone have made all the difference in the way I feel. I encourage you to keep at it, although I know we are all different.
