Acacia question....how do I know that I'm 'stable'?

I know that looks like a silly question but please bear with me.

What constitutes 'stability' so you know that you've reached your personal maximum dosage level with the acacia fiber? Is it the fact that your gut is now 'quiet' or a normal BM?

I've been following Heather's diet for about a month and just got the Acacia Fiber this week and started taking it on Monday. I'm doing 1/2 teaspoon in the morning and another in the evening. My stomach and gut are so quiet! Its like nothing is happening. I'm so used to tummy rumblings and things moving and sometimes cramping...now there is nothing! There is some random minor gas and I sometimes feel something is working but its barely noticeable! I 'went' yesterday morning. Not exactly normal but it wasn't D and it wasn't painful constipation either.

I guess what I want to know is does the 'quietness' equal stability and does that mean I stay at the present dose or should I keep upping the dose until I feel that 'everything' is back to normal?

And I think the acacia has helped my acid reflux if that is possible!

Thanks for the help...
