It's very important that you do eat insoluble fiber, just make sure you always have it with soluble. You can still eat brown rice. Eat your veggies pureed into sauces or soups, or finely chopped and cooked. Just make sure you have them with pasta or bread or some other soluble. Then you get the best of both worlds! Use your raisins in breads - the Sunshine Bread & Chocolate Applesauce Bread from Eating for IBS are delicious, and they both use chopped raisins in them.
Bottom line DO NOT STOP EATING INSOLUBLE FIBER! Just do it carefully!
Also, continue to take your Metamucil if it works for you - a lot of people get gas & bloating from Metamucil, but if it works for you, stick with it! And drink tons & tons of water/herbal tea. And then drink a ton more! Fiber needs the water to work.
Have you been getting your exercise? Exercise really helps the bowel keep things moving.
