OK, when I first started the acacia, I think I was taking a little too much and Oboy was I stinkey!! I reduced the amount a little and that helped. I have been on acacia now about 5-6 weeks and ALL the gas and Stinkiness has gone away! So stick with it and gradually increase the amount you are taking.

In fact, I have had such good luck with it I have been able to greatly reduce the Miralax I have had to take for more than 3 years! I am hoping to completely stop the miralax in the next couple of weeks.

As far as general gas and bloating: I take 2 probiotics (acidifulus and bifidus) in the am, 2 digestive enzymes with dinner and Beano when I need a little extra and this has really helped me! The probiotics do take some time to work, up to 6 months. I also believe Heathers Acacia has a prebiotic in it which will help with gas and bloating as well once your body gets over the first shock of the extra fiber!

I can't tell you how much exercise helps me as well-keeps everything moving and prevents the gas from building up!
