Abruptly changing SFS

Has anyone changed their SFS overnight without weaning themeselves onto the new one?

I have been taking 10.5 grams of Acacia for the past 2 months and I'm out now. So, I got some Benefiber to replace it.

I'm scared about how my body is going to react at such a high dose change. I don't want to cut back as it took me so long to work up to this.

Has anyone successfully switched SFS overnight at such a high dose? I'm trying to avoid paying for shipping of Acacia since I am so broke. And even if I did decide to order it this weekend, it wouldn't get to me until next Thursday or Friday.

What do I do? Are Acacia and Benefiber similar? Or might the Benefiber cause problems? I don't know what to do.

* Both Acacia and Benefiber are "gums."
