I've been taking acacia for over 6 months now. I take 3 T a day. It worked so well for so long, but now it doesn't seem to be working. I'm not eating any differently. I have severe constipation. Now what?

Have you tried increasing your dose? Another option too is to increase your IF intake.

Acacia alone will not fix constipation! You need to get insoluble fiber at every meal (fruits and vegetables) and exercise daily and make sure you're drinking enough fluids.

You can look at Heather's newsletters on constipation (IBS News & Reviews) or do a search on constipation on this board. We've discussed this fairly often, so you should be able to find a lot!
