No, eating starchy food does not help with constipation, you are right, but eating whole wheat kills me, so what can I do?
My mother suggested drinking a glass of warm water with honey first thing in the morning, that would help with the C... I haven't tried it yet, but her friend has and it has helped.
Fruits and vegetables. At every meal. I know that we get pounded into our head that insoluble fiber means bran and whole wheat, but those are probably the most challenging sources. Getting fruits and veggies at every meal will help with C and give you a lot of nutrients you should get anyway.
Cooking/chopping/pureeing will make the IF easier to handle. And note that you still have to get your soluble fiber (SF): that is what will keep the IF from cramping you up and making your C worse!
