Hi, Chris! Unfortunately, I can't help you with your question about probiotics, but the answers to your questions about what to eat and soluble fiber have been provided by Heather.
Have you printed out Heather's Cheat Sheet? It's a list of SF foods you can eat, IF foods that you can incorporate in small amounts, and triggers to avoid. It's not on the message boards, but the main site. Here's a link: Heather's Cheat Sheet. Also, have you read Heather's books or the information she has included on the site? Click on IBS Diet & Recipes. I really think this is the best place to start; it's a really comprehensive plan on how to start the IBS diet and the difference between soluble fiber and insoluble fiber.
As far as info on the boards, if you go to the IBS diet message board main page, you'll see a list of informational posts, each marked with a red tack, that Heather has provided for people new to IBS: "Brandname Recommendations for Foods," "Snacks, Quick Foods, and Good Grub to Grab in a Hurry," " Frequently Asked Questions about the IBS Diet," " New folks, please read this post first! Lots of helpful info." I think reading these first will be much more useful and easier to understand then just a list of what each of us is eating, especially since we each have different triggers and eating habits.
I hope this helps!  This diet is great, just stick with it and be patient while you try to figure out what works for you.
Best wishes!
