That's what I had, Louise! I gave up and went back to my other supplement.

Me too...I have had really bad gas pains and bloating, I really think its the acacia  Darn it! I think I'm going to do citrucel and a small amount of acacia. Maybe I'll get used to it that way. I've been in a world of pain the past few days...I had also been uping the dose of acacia. So I think that's been my problem!
I have been eating really well too. So I'm at a loss. I guess stoping acacia for a few days will be the test!!!

That sounds like a smart idea Steph. I'm feeling a little better since I stopped the acacia, although it's taking a while for my system to get back to normal! I agree, it is too bad that it doesn't seem to work well for us. That's a good idea about trying some of each supplement though... maybe I'll get brave and try adding it back that way too.

Hi Melluv,
Are you taking Acacia? Or is this just because of you IBS? Mine is both ofcourse...but I think it is worse because of the Acacia. Now it works REALLY well for some here on the boards and there is a few of us that are having a really hard time with it. I think I'm not going to take it anymore. I've been bloated, gas and gas pains...side and back pain. I've been feeling horriable the past week! I try to manage it with tea. But to be honest it has not helped one bit! Normaly it helps tons. Peppermint and fennel are the two I drink. I'm getting ready to take a hot bath and maybe some tea before bed! I hope tomorrow is better. I took my last dose of acacia last night before bed. I havent' had anymore today. So maybe tomorrow will be better!! OH PLEASE!!!! I really hope My tummy too looks like a baloon...if only we could pop it!!! 
Well I hope I help and answered some of you questions! Let me know if I can help!
Take care!

Going through the same thing. Almost like a gall bladder attack but I don't have it.
Trying herbal teas, fennel, pepppermit and chamoile. They help a bit but not much. But at lease constipation has eased up for now.

Hi Gerry! You're early tonight, it's not midnight yet, lol... at least not here in NY! I'm glad the acacia helped with your D! That must be a great relief. I'm a C girl myself, so I didn't have that to worry about. My main problem has always been gas and bloating, and the acacia did seem to make it even worse. In other words, I don't have much advice to offer you in that area! I'm assuming you've tried fennel tea? I can't stand the stuff but everyone says it's great for bloating. I do buy celestial seasonings Tummy Mint, which contains some fennel, and that does seem to help a little bit. Anyway, to make a long story short, I hope you get the bloating under control! Let's hope we all do.
