I do take a supplement - the acacia fiber sold on this site. I find that fiber helps me more than anything else to have formed stools. I take 2.5 teaspoons twice a day (mixed in water with breakfast and dinner). I gradually increased and did have some gas initially, but it resolved itself as my system got used to the fiber. I used to take Fibercon tablets, which also worked well, but it is hard to take as much fiber with the tablets - I would have to take too many pills in one day! I like the acacia the best of anything so far. I do follow the EFI diet fairly closely, though not perfectly Once you start, you'll find that there are some "cheats" you can get away with. It has given me a really good base so that if i find myself in a tough situation (at a restaurant or friend's house) even if I eat a few things off the diet i'm usually ok.
