Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Is it possible to take/eat too much IF?

I have been slowly increasing my acacia fiber over the past two weeks. I had been taking 1 Tbsp each day, but I read that I ought to break it up over the course of the day, so I started to take 2 tsps, twice a day. After looking at the recommended dosages, I added some to the middle of the day. Was starting to have normal bm every other day, and feeling pretty good. I eat rice nearly every night, with whatever meal I am having, and last night had rice, some chicken and french bread. Today, have had 2 loose BMs several hours apart. That's unusual, typically it's once a day, and usually a day or two in between. Just trying to figure out what I did wrong? I am so disappointed! I've been following the EFI diet very carefully, even though my husband thinks I am a little nuts. It's my 45th birthday today, and I certainly didn't feel like there was much to celebrate. I don't really want to leave the house, because I don't know if it's finished yet. I just hate this. I am sorry to be too descriptive, it's just that the kind people on here are the only ones who really understand how this feels.
