Well, that makes sense. The laxatives made me go twice or more every morning. Now I sometimes feel awful if I go just once, or even twice. Is it possible my bowel can over time be re-trained to just go once in the morning and feel fine? Maybe the acacia will help with this goal by making the stool bulkier? I've only been taking it for a week so far, first 1/4 tsp twice a day, now 1/2 tsp twice a day. I can't always take it on an empty stomach though.. I hope that won't make it any less effective.
As far as candida, and other possible parasites, I take black walnut hull, wormwood, and cloves once a week, which don't seem to have any adverse effect on me, a probiotic called Three-Lac, and Oxygen Elements, which is supposed to help cells get more oxygen. (I'm not sure about that last one, I want to research it more.)
As far as other supplements go I take: Philip's Colon Health, which is just 3 probiotic strains, no inulin or FOS or anything like that; fennel; okra pepsin, which is supposed to help protein digestion; and Catalyst-U, which are digestive enyzmes in a "soothing" herbal base blend of licorice, marshmallow, gentian, lavendar, chamomile, slippery elm, ginger, and calendula. After what I've read, though, I doubt the enzymes are much help.
I haven't had a colonscopy or pelvic floor testing.
