Yep the C will follow D which will follow C which will follow D. We used to call it a shame spiral in my house when I had it. Your fiber amount is low but being prone to D you really have to be careful with fiber and increase it slowly. I can't decide what to say about your diet. It is a very foreign diet to me and unappetizing and I am trying to make an impartial speculation of how you can improve and it is difficult. Even though I was A I never had fiber issues much and could put dried fruit in oatmeal and eat raw carrots and stuff like that, but I can't recommend that because it isn't safe; so in a nutshell, I don't have anything more to say about what you should eat right at this time.

The high fiber oatmeal and other foods like that now have inulin as the fiber to make it higher in grams without it being like hay. Inulin causes gas in many and possible other GI issues. I would stick with regular instant oats. The rice will be a nice filler and jasmine is wonderful too. That is all.

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!
