I am really liking the acacia. People said to up it very slowly and they mean it! When I added a second dose too soon it was too much, but one evening does is working well for me! I highly recommend it.
I wouldn't worry about the little singular things some people have problems with. Get Heather's books and live by those. I personally don't have any additional food problems and so you might not either. C is very, very tough and you have to increase the insolubles and veggies. Don't worry about getting bloat since you already have it. For me I get bloated if I am C (even if I seem quite regular I can still need to go more. When I am going all I should then the bloat goes away. So I try not to single out the bloat but treat it as a symptom of an unhappy tummy in general.) Also you might never get rid of C if you can't relax and let go of the stress!
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
