I'm on the hunt for the best one too. I'm D, and I've tried psyllium and acacia. It sounds like which fiber supplements will work for you is really personal and can only be determined by trial and error, but my experience was that the psyllium gives me bloating and some gas, while the accacia actually made me C and gave me the smelliest gas ever (sorry to be graphic!). As I am around people all day the side effects from the psyllium are more acceptable, even though it doesn't control my D as well. I'm on the hunt for Citrucel but have been to a dozen pharmacies and can't find any. Mags says it works better for her.
My advice- just try different ones. And, honestly, it will make your D much better!
