Hi - go ahead and try the Fibercon. You can always mix and match fiber supplements - it's just like eating rice and then oatmeal. Soluble fibers all work the same way in your gut - which one works best for you can just be trial and error.
I'm most puzzled by your doc being adamant that you only need 4 Fibercon a day, as that's just two grams. That is a really low dose - and there's no harm at all in taking a higher dose. Fibercon might be his personal favorite because it's what has worked well for him, since he has IBS too. Try the 4 pills, see how you do, mix and match it with the Acacia and see how you do, and let your body tell you what will work best for you.
There's more info all about different soluble fiber supplements here SFS
