I missed whether you were IBS-C or D. I am IBS-C and if I use too much bread-like, white carb food stuffs - before/with my vegetables at a meal, my system will literally stop up, slow down (great if I were IBS-D)and ferment from the inside, causing all sorts of gas (i.e. larger clothes sizes than I usually take and awful discomfort). If I stick with soluble fiber like peas, sweet potatoes, bananas and the like (along with a protein usually), I am better off than loading up on white bread and white rice and veggies at the same time. My system is very sensitive, but I was able to help my digestion with GS-Similase. I had to start with 1 pill at one of my meals a day and worked up to 1 pill with all of my meals every day. I did this over several days. If you try it, start slowly if your system is sensitive and stick with it, in the long run it should help with the fermentation and gas.
