Read Heather's post at the top of the first page of this board on Acacia doses. Increasing the dose of ANY SFS too much too fast can cause a temporary increase in gas and bloating, but Acacia is actually one of the best available (for NOT doing this, that is ). Psyllium based SFS for example can cause gas however you increase the dose...although psyllium is one of the best SFSs for beating bad C.
If you're really worried, start at a tiny dose (1/2 or even 1/4 t) and slowly work up from there. You're unlikely to get the beneficial effects until you've reached a significant dose (more than 8g SFS a day is typical) but by increasing the dose REALLY slowly you're far less likely to get the temporary side effects.
