Welcome, "T"!
I am also a "D". I just started on acacia 3 weeks ago, and I'm having a problem with bloating as well -- however, I don't attribute it to the acacia as much as just plain old IBS. Are you drinking fennel tea? It's supposed to help with bloating.
I noticed some bloating and cramping when I tried to increase the acacia too soon, and was better when I dropped back on the dose a little.
Regardless, I am feeling so much better from the acacia, and I expect it to improve as my body gets used to it -- and to the probiotic I just started on.
It's really all trial-and-error. If you hadn't been having any fiber supplements before the acacia, it's really important to start out SLOOOOWLY. 1 teaspoon once a day seems pretty slow, so that should work -- but, as Heather emphasizes, make sure it's a LEVEL MEASURING teaspoon, not a serving spoon, there's a big difference.
