All my docs tell me to eat anything I want(except milk) because food has nothing to do with IBS. Stupid idiots! My old Internist told me to eat all the donuts, Burger King whoppers with mayo, deep fried french fries, etc that I want!
I am trying to also incorporate brown rice into my diet, as I really believe the white rice worsens my Constipation. There is a reason they put people with Diarrhea on the BRAT diet (banana, rice ,applesauce and toast diet!
I know a lot of people don't think rice causes constipation and that it is just SF, but for me, I feel white rice is constipating. So far, not much luck with the brown rice. I will try doing 1/2 white and 1/2 brown. I tried basamiti brown rice, and found that it made me crampy. So now I will try brown jasmine because I know white jasmine is softer and mushier than regular white rice. So I'm hoping the brown jasmine rice will be mushier than the other brown rice. Who knows, though. This all guess work. I could be totally off base. I just think the brown rice would be less constipating since it is IF.
I changed my white rice bread to brown, and that is easier adjustment than than the grain itself. If you are GF (can't remember) maybe you could see how you do with this change first. Or try doing 1/2 and 1/2 like you said.
