Yes, when I did the BTC diet, I did it with brown rice. I over cook it some (and put yummy eastern european spices on it, mmm, tastes like my grandma's) and it's great with me.
You are so right, it's a very difficult balance to find. So hard to follow after, too...
OK, I will repeat what I did.
- I stopped all IF for awhile(but that in the brown rice, I read it was very tollerable on this website somewhere, so I thought why change it, then I would need to cook one for me and one for my husband). I was eating brown rice, potatoes and toasted white bread (with jam/jelly, no butter). I was doing toasted, because my best friend told me soft bread sticks to your guts and is more dificult to digest than toasted, and I have found her to be right while I was eating mostly that
- While I was doing that I was taking Miralax to be able to have BMs...
- I started gradually introducing some more IF to the abovementioned -- adding some peppers to the rice... or tomatoes (small amounts)... some onions here and there... making soups not just of potatoes and pasta but also adding some celery, or some other veggie
- I stopped the miralax and started taking magnesium.
- I am pretty good now. I suspect i needed the miralax to stabilize.
