Insoluble fiber from cereal bran (wheat, corn, rice, etc) of any kind can exacerbate IBS symptoms. For example, this 2004 review study of the effect of fiber concluded "Soluble fibre (psyllium, ispaghula, calcium polycarbophil) showed significant improvement whereas insoluble fibre (corn, wheat bran), in some cases, worsened the clinical outcome, but there was no significant difference compared with placebo."

Some IBSers can tolerate some cereal bran when eaten with a good amount of soluble fiber. For example it is best to start by mixing small amounts of brown rice with white rice to determine your sensitivity to rice bran.
