Very good points.
I have gone through long periods of taking the acacia fiber, and sometimes it seemed to work for me, but in recent months I came to suspect that it was contributing toward my gas/cramping symptoms. I'm not 100% sure this is true, but I feel like I've seen this link.
Having said this, I do think padding my diet with good amounts of soluble fiber and limiting IF is a good strategy.
I am also a health fanatic, and it pains me to say it, but I think I really do best when fruit and vegetables are kept to a minimum. One, I think the IF is an issue, and two, I think I'm likely sensitive to the various FODMAPs fruit and veg. I would eat in the past.
Having said all this, sometimes it seems my diet just doesn't make a different. There have been periods when I was eating all kinds of problematic foods but doing ok, and periods when I have persistent trouble even following the most rigorous of exclusion diets.
