Hi - Foods with fiber (soluble and insoluble) are helpful for constipation. Not eating enough fiber will cause constipation. BUT- for IBS, there can be a big difference in how your gut reacts to the different types of fiber. Please read through this info to learn more web page

Breads and rice can have just soluble fiber or both soluble/insoluble. Both varieties will help constipation, but again, check the above link to learn how to be careful with insoluble.

The worst foods that can actually CAUSE constipation are red meat and dairy - the high fat, animal proteins, and zero fiber content are all very constipating.

Do a board search for more info on this topic too.

Best,
Heather
