I just got a newsletter with a study that showed that for those without gluten intolerance there is nothing wrong with gluten/grain. It also pointed out that avoiding gluten/grain did not lead to weight loss. It is just a trend right now. We've seen plenty come and go.
However, you can eat safely without a lot of grains. SF veggies like were mentioned are a great base! Add to that summer squash, mushrooms, SF fruit, other root veggies, artichoke hearts, canned mushy veggies and fruits of all kinds, etc. Egg whites are a good safe filler. You might find certain grains don't make you guilty- like corn meal or quinoa (polenta, corn chips, grits, tortillas).
But I don't quite understand your fear of grains if you are not trying to lose weight?

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!
