I know whole wheat is a no no, especially stone ground, but I'm wondering about whole grain brown, basmati and uncle bens parboiled rice products...they are high fiber, but the packages don't say what kind of fiber - maybe because the inside is soluable and the outside is insoluable the mix is okay??? Anyone's experiences?

Whole grain rice and oatmeal tend to be the two safest whole grains for IBS. Brown rice is very tolerable for most people, so give it a try. The "brown" part of the rice is the bran, comparable to the bran on the outside of a wheat berry. And the bran is insoluble fiber, whereas the interior of the rice (or wheat berry) is soluble. But rice bran tends to very easy on IBS, while whole wheat can be just murder.
