You can stay with the soluble fiber supplement and eat lots of soluble fiber foods that are FODMAP friendly - there are plenty of them like rice, potatoes, ect.

If there is a dietitian in your city that knows the FODMAP approach then it is a good idea to use that resources. Although the clinical evidence over the past few years has been growing rapidly showing the efficacy of the FODMAP approach there are still relatively few trained dietitians.

The general approach is to go on a low FODMAP diet removing things like apples with excess fructose and wheat/rye with fructans and so on. After one becomes stable you start to introduce foods from the various FODMAP groups until you figure out which groups you are handle.

If you want more clinical evidence I can direct you to more research on the topic

I follow the EFI and the FODMAP diets without too much difficulty
