acacia fiber flare?
i just started about a week ago taking heather's acacia fiber. about that time i started MAJOR flaring as well. i can not get the flare under control and am miserable. anyway, i'm trying desperately to think of what changed or what i did different. the fiber is the only thing i can think of. i've been reading that it wouldn't really cause a flare, but i have to wonder. has anyone had it happen to them?

I would imagine that if you are allergic to that tree, it could cause a flare.
I'd definitely stop it & see if the flare dies down in a few days. You could always try it again later & see what happens, right?
I use "Metamucil Clear & Natural" which is 100% inulin powder & doesn't bother my IC at all...

i stopped taking it for a few weeks and have been feeling like things are calming down a little bit. so yesterday i started the fiber again, and today is right back into a flare!!!!! i will wait a couple days and see how it goes but i'm starting to think that it really is the acacia fiber!!! i feel so discouraged!!!!! and like a weirdo....i can sneak in a pickle and get away with it but i can't take fiber!!! what the heck!!!!!!!

I take Fibercon and it works very well with my IC. When I asked my doc about a higher dosed fiber supplement, my GI recommended not to take too much of fiber- thus I stay with the Fibercon....
Maybe worth a try?
