I am also IBS-C, and I also take supplements. For me, a combination of calcium/magnesium has worked in addition to the acacia. I will tell you this though, if you aren't getting enough WATER, the acacia will make things worse. Don't drown yourself, but drink plenty of water throughout the day. Also, make sure you are eating plenty of insoluable fiber as well.
I find that the peppermint tea sometimes will slow things down for me. While it is great for pain (and I do use it on occasion) I don't use it for the C itself. The fennel should help relieve some of the bloat and gas - again, not the C itself.
C takes a lot of time to resolve, so be patient. Go slowly when adding supplements, and do it one at a time so you will know what is helping and what is hurting the problem. Don't give up too soon, and DRINK PLENTY OF WATER!!!
Feel better soon!
