You have asked a good question. I have yet to determine if heating cold rice, pasta and potatoes reduces the amount of resistant starch. It might. I usually reheat my rice because I don;t like cold rice very much. However, cold rice is used in sushi and cold potato or pasta salad made with a tiny bit of olive oil, mustard and seasoning is wonderful 
I eat my oatmeal hot 
Sometimes I have two serving of fruit. The second serving is usually in the evening perhaps with a slice of homemade zucchine cake.
I am not sure about bananas. I know that I can only eat bananas that are not ripe.

And just to clarify, You DO reheat all your potatoes, rice, and pasta, right?

I know that apples are a high fructose fruit. Apples and pears have about the same amount of free fructose. Of course it depends on the variety.
Some people have said that cooking apples to make apple sauce reduces the amount of fructose but I have not been able to find evidence to support the idea that heat degrades fructose. I do know that heating white sugar produces inverted sugar - that is sucrose is broken into its constituent components of glucose and fructose. I suspect that people who can tolerate apples and apple sauce are not very sensitive to fructose.

...to fructose? Did you have a fructose intolerance test or do trial and error? what symptoms do fructose products cause you?
It's nice having a scientist on the boards!

I only eat white rice. I peel all veggies. And I usually reheat rice, potatoes and pasta or eat it hot as soon as I cook it. I am not too fussy about getting an increased amount of resistant starch due to cooling. For me the important thing is to get a good serving of one of these food items with lunch and dinner.

D, gas, bloating and pain  When I removed honey, HFCS and high fructose fruits and juices I found I had much better control over my IBS. There is a breath test but no one does that test in my area. Of course, fructose is only one of many triggers that I have to watch out for.

If you eat it hot right after cooking it, how does it make it "resistant" starch and not any different then regular soluble fiber? I want to try resistant starch, but want to make sure I do it correctly.
I get a newsletter from Sophie and one of the constipation "success" stories stated that that person also ate resistant starch, but she didn't explain what it was or how she ate it...cold or hot, right after eating it.

I put some links to information about resistant starch in an early posting in this message thread. Here is another interesting article from the resistant starch web site on increasing resistant starch in your diet.
Resistant starch naturally occurs in such things as rice, potatoes and pasta. However, in some foods the amount of resistant starch increases due to crystalization as the food cools. As I recall in rice the amount of resistant starch can increase by as much as two times when it cools. I don't know if the amount decreases again if it is reheated. I have a helping of rice, pasta or potatoes with lunch and supper.
I hope it helps.

Well, that second article sounds like they have to be eaten cold in order to sustain resistance.
