The cooked rice I've been eating is actually white rice so there should be no problems from bran there.
Good point about the rice cakes and whole grain rice. There's one thing that just doesn't make sense, though - I was on a gluten challenge for 7 weeks and ate mainly whole grain bread, not white bread and I didn't eat any added bran. So, when I companer whole-grain bread with whole-grain rice cakes, I would think the rice cakes'd be easier to digest, no? But I've been feeling worse witht them than I did with the bread. The only benefit was that my acne got better after I started the GF diet. I just wish my body made sense to me  .

Simple answer....everything else was safe and when I cut out rice..I felt better.
Now I can eat it sometimes without a problem BUT I would consider myself in"remission" my IBS isn't a factor right now.When I was stablizing,I had to avoid rice.Everyone is different.
Plus,maybe its the rice cakes that are th eproblem.Try eat Basmatic rice.It's pretty good.

The bran in whole-grain bread and the bran in whole-grain rice cakes are similar. They are both rich in cellulose - an insoluble fiber

Glad you hear you're in remission, that's great! There's hope for everyone .
I like Basmati rice and Jasmine rice even more . The reason I switched to rice cakes is because they keep well so I could store them at my desk at work, and have them for snacks and sometimes as a part of lunch.
I just got a package of quinoa as I was out, and lately I've been experimenting with buckwheat as well. I had a "bucksotto" (buckwheet risotto ) today for lunch and it was pretty good.

Right. So why did I feel worse with one over the other? I'm not questioning your answers, I'm just trying to understand my body's reaction .

Unadventurous eaters at home? Isn't your health a little more important than their eating preferences?

One possible reason is wheat contains fructans where are made up of long chains of fructose molecules. They are not digested or absorbed in the small intestine, are rapidly fermented by colonic bacteria and they can induce IBS-like symptoms by themselves. There is growing clinical evidence to support the notion that in some IBS individuals the problem with wheat is fructans not gluten.

Hi All,
I am trying to boost my soluble fiber, and I only like cereal and breads and crackers for carbs. However, all the rice cakes and rice crackers I found (all varieties) have zero fiber. Does this mean they have no soluble fiber and thus, they won't help stabilize my intestines?
I'd rather not bother to eat them if they aren't helping me. Thanks!

Syl calls that 'resistant starch'. There are properties of food like white rice and white bread that act like SF without any fiber showing up on a nutrition label. If it gets gooey when wet like a saltine in soup, most likely it can be considered a SF base.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
