Way too much IF for me. Remember that most docs still recommend lots of fibre (ie. IF) for IBS!!!  So that might be where the "brown-rice-good-for-IBS" thing has come from.

All my docs tell me to eat anything I want(except milk) because food has nothing to do with IBS. Stupid idiots! My old Internist told me to eat all the donuts, Burger King whoppers with mayo, deep fried french fries, etc that I want!
I am trying to also incorporate brown rice into my diet, as I really believe the white rice worsens my Constipation. There is a reason they put people with Diarrhea on the BRAT diet (banana, rice ,applesauce and toast diet!
I know a lot of people don't think rice causes constipation and that it is just SF, but for me, I feel white rice is constipating. So far, not much luck with the brown rice.  I will try doing 1/2 white and 1/2 brown. I tried basamiti brown rice, and found that it made me crampy. So now I will try brown jasmine because I know white jasmine is softer and mushier than regular white rice. So I'm hoping the brown jasmine rice will be mushier than the other brown rice. Who knows, though. This all guess work. I could be totally off base. I just think the brown rice would be less constipating since it is IF.
I changed my white rice bread to brown, and that is easier adjustment than than the grain itself. If you are GF (can't remember) maybe you could see how you do with this change first. Or try doing 1/2 and 1/2 like you said.

If so, how is it going for you? Do you feel better? You have me thinking about trying it now. But I don't know how I would give up my fruit and my GF bread.
How much and what kind of fruits can you have? Any veggies you need to avoid besides mushrooms?
I thought a probiotic would take care of the need to do a yeast free diet. I am confused. Are there others who have done or have tried the yeast free diet?
