Good summary, Maria, but I think I see where the confusion is ...

In EFI, page 127, there's a recipe for "Basic Brown Rice", which begins:
Quote:
Brown rice is wonderful with grilled salmon and all types of vegetarian meals. Try a bowl plain with a splash of fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of garlic salt for a quick, tasty, and safe snack.
In the Web page you quote, Heather concludes by saying:
Quote:
Oatmeal, brown rice, and corn meal (polenta) tend to be the best-tolerated whole grains for IBS.
So it seems that brown rice, like oatmeal, is one of those "soluble fibers" that some people can tolerate and some can't.
It's funny, because I was convinced it was IF, too, but when I took a close look at the SF list, all it says is "Rice". Too bad - I hate the stuff.
