I believe a good approach is to slowly increase your IF:SF ratio until you find more relief from C or until other IBS symptoms are exacerbated.

Heather says in this newsletter:

For general good health, and for healthy bowel function overall, insoluble fiber foods need to be eaten as generously and as frequently as possible.

However, she also says:

For constipation from IBS, however, insoluble fiber can trigger violent GI spasms that are very painful. Additionally, these spasms can actually seize up the colon muscles in a type of "charley horse", which results in slower (or no) bowel motility and worsens constipation.

Like most IBS problems it is matter of finding your individual tolerance
