Hi cellsalts...
Just wanted to share that I am exactly like you as far as I have severe C and rice (along with several other SF's) absolutely make it worse. Rice is the worst culprit. Also, I am not lactose intolerant (although ironically that was one of my first problems in my early teens- no idea why I am not any longer). Milk/milk products are one of the few things I can tolerate with almost NO side effects. There is no fiber - either SF/IF so I have no reaction to that. There is basically only sugar- that goes down without a hitch since it dissolves in water, and milk, which I have no problem with. When I can't eat ANYTHING- I eat plain chocolate candy bars and ice cream and I am right as rain. It's terribly sad though because you can't live on those things, but they work for me 100% with no exceptions. My bowels start moving and my bloat goes away and I have NO symptoms. Sad that eating the worst foods for you makes me feel the best. Frustrating to try and be healthy.
Anyhow, long post, but to let you know, listen to YOUR body and do what works for it. The rules on the board are guidelines.... you have to cherry pick what works for you and ignore anyone who "tsk tsk's" at you. It's your suffering, and anyone who doesn't know what it's like to have cement insides has no room to judge.

Thanks:)
I don't have a problem with rice, that may have been someone else contributing to this thread.
But yes chocolate with or without milk does help me too, except I just can't mentally tolerate food that is unhealthy and fattening like that, so I just don't eat it, I'd feel really guilty afterwards. The worst for me, and ironically this is why I am causing myself problems is that I pig out on healthy stuff like broccoli and cauliflower and other kinds of vegetables which do not cause me the same kind of problems fruit do, but they are still problematic. For us suffering from C, I have found that it's usually not attacks or no attacks, there are problems of varying severity, indicated by the thinness of one's stools (ie to what extent bowels are moving). (sorry for the explicit detail!) that is why I can't just say whether one food is triggering attacks or not, as so much depends on the amount of food I have, the number of times I eat per day, my psychological well-being, the last time I had apples/bananas, my fluid intake etc etc
And I have not had a test done yet, but I don't know what I'll do if I'm fructose intolerant as apples are a godsend.
And I definitely have problems with lactose or at least milk products 
oh the depressing tone of this reply, sorry!
