how much metamucil were you taking? how much acacia are you taking?
i don't know about the odor-- sometimes that just reflects what you've eaten....
as for continuing on the acacia, i would say - depending on your dose!- you should stick with it. especially if the only adverse reaction you've experienced is a change of odor that may or may not be from the acacia. you may notice some bloating with the acacia for a few days (or with any soluble fiber supplement) when you start or adjust the dose. hang in there. don't increase doeses too quickly--- some people like me give it a few weeks before tinkering with an increase! if you have gas, try some fennel tea.
if you're anything like me, the acacia should impact your watery D for the better in a few days. HANG IN THERE! (of course, if it gets worse or you're increasingly in pain or you constipate, you may want to stop and/or reevaluate the dose!)
