Stick with that for several days and see what you think. Gradually increase the dose, working your way (as needed) to about 3 tablespoons per day, total. You can divide the doses however you like. I find it really helpful to take the acacia first thing in the morning, before meals, and/or before bedtime. As you gradually increase the dose you should find that your bms gradually increase as well, but you won't swing over to diarrhea. You'll just end up normalizing your bowel function, and then you can just hold that course.
