No, it's not too gross -- we've all been there.
I had the same problem with the acacia when I (unintentionally) increased my dosage. Also, I practically took no supplements before the acacia, because I was only taking 1g. of Citrucel, which is virtually nothing. However, 1t of the acacia is a very low dosage -- I started out at 2t/day. Are you MEASURING the amount using a MEASURING teaspoon as opposed to a SERVING teaspoon? There's a big difference. That's the mistake I made -- Heather caught me! When I finally measured the amount by pouring from the serving teaspoon into a measuring spoon, I discovered I was actually taking in 1/2 TABLESPOON! It was too much of an increase too soon. Also, the gas decreased substantially once I began taking Heather's fennel and peppermint teas.
But wait! -- You sometimes "ate nothing for days"?? What's up with that? What's in your new diet? You said nothing that should cause the gas? Are you sure?
Don't give up on the fiber; it took me awhile to get used to it, and then of course having to get used to the increase so soon -- it was a big change, and my body just took awhile to get used to it. You might cut back a little, give your body a little more time to get accustomed to it.
