I know what you mean - sometimes I wish we WERE all cookie-cutter type people. If we all came from the same mold, we'd all be able to use the same things ... Just try to remember on bad days that you can still live happily ever after with IBS - like anything else, it just takes a bit of work. You'll get the hang of it, don't worry.
You're right, I did mess up on the oatmeal, got it backward!  oops! As far as the insolubles I do eat (and hopefully I don't have anymore of these wrong), I can do wheat bread, tomatoes, onions, brown rice, peas, lettuce, grean beans, garlic, broccoli, grapes, peanuts/cashews, and granola bars. Tomatoes, onions, and lettuce I'll slice and eat raw in a sandwich (on safe white bread); broccoli, peas, and garlic I eat in stir fry. If I have grapes or nuts, it's only a small handful.
I rarely eat insolubles at more than one meal; for example, I'll have two sandwiches at lunch ( ) OR I'll have stir fry for dinner. It hasn't been taking all that much to get rid of the C. And I am an IBS-A, so I do have attacks of D that can last for days and I don't eat insolubles at all then.
I think I mentioned before (sorry, very bad memory lately!) that my diet isn't very stable. It's widely varied because I have to eat whatever happens to be around. This is 'cause I don't have a job and can't afford much at the moment. I really want to try acacia, but for the same reason ($), haven't yet. I will though (hopefully soon) and I promise to let you know how it goes ... unless of course the next ice age has come by then 
Anyway, I hope this helps you a bit. Feel free to ask me any other questions (or for clarifications in case this is fuzzy). Good luck!
