With IBS, anything is possible. 
Constipation takes a while to resolve itself. I've been on the diet and taking supplements for a little over 3 months, and I still have problems with it from time to time. I'll ask the standard questions: are you eating insolubles? drinking lots of water? exercising? I'm lousy at exercising, but I'll admit from the times I've gotten myself out to do it - it really does help.
Stress is DEFINITELY an IBS trigger. There was a discussion here just yesterday (I think started by David?) that talked about stress, and some people here gave excellent suggestions in how to deal with it, so I won't repeat all that... a little scrolling and you should be able to find that one. 
When I was increasing my fiber, I increased every 5 days or so. More information about acacia dosages here. You definitely do want to end up taking more than 2 tsp a day. I don't know how much that is in fiber grams, but I know I didn't feel any different until I worked up to a much higher dose. Also, I don't know how much of a difference it'll make immediately, but it's more beneficial to take the fiber several times during the day. You could start by splitting your dose and taking half in the morning and half at night. Never know, might help.
Good luck!
