Maybe eating too many soluble foods?

If you're not currently taking a soluble fiber supplement, begin with a low dose of Acacia fiber (try 1 level teaspoon twice daily) and gradually increase....
Raise your Acacia fiber dosage level by 1 teaspoon at a time, every few days or every week, until your bowel function has stabilized. Diarrhea and spasms should resolve in just a few days, especially as you increase your fiber dose; constipation, particularly if it has been chronic and severe, may take several weeks. Try to gradually increase your Acacia Tummy Fiber until you're taking 12-15 grams daily (this is about 3 level tablespoons). It's always best to divide your daily dosage of Acacia Tummy Fiber into two or three doses (or even four), as the whole point of taking a soluble fiber supplement is to keep your gut filled with soluble fiber at all times.

i would recommend you add to your dose! hopefully you'll start feeling better soon... this could also explain why you say you've been in a lot of pain for the last 3 weeks. more soluble fiber will help fill your colon. once you're feeling a little better, it's really important to start adding the insolubles in, as you know! from what i've read, people with constipation seem to do better with a little more insoluble fiber than us Ders, so the faster you become pain-free and can carefully add some insoluble fiber, the better! (plus, the bonus of the no-pain! )
