I'm in the same boat. Rice makes me bloat like crazy. I can't seem to handle wheat products or any sort of baking (I've tried gluten-free with rice flour, potato flour, tapioca etc - same results). I've had some success with potatoes, but only white. I seem to react to sweet potatoes (and carrots) and end up with orange poops. I was having success for a few days with oats (cheerios) but they became problematic as well.
I ususally manage to poop at least once a day (usually one big dump in the morning) using Natural Calm (1-2 tsp at bedtime) and Natren 3in1 pro-biotics, but spend the day getting progressively more bloated.
I've been fighting to incorporate the right balance of soluble and insoluble and had some success for a while with pureed peas mixed with white potatoes, but again after a while it stopped working for me.
I'm especially frustrated because I can't seem to handle any amount of protein without things slowing to a crawl. Chicken/turkey breast, white fish, beans of any kind, even with digestive enzymes or Beano leave me sluggish, backed up, and falling asleep.
I'm working my way back up on the acacia powder (1.5 tsp currently) and hoping it helps. It seems to have something to do with keeping enough bulk in my system to keep my colon from spasming, but at the same time I have to be careful not to eat too much or it still does. I'm still looking for that balance point and trying to find the right regular routine. I'm in a job where it's difficult to be able to eat every couple of hours and have a hard time finding foods that are easily portable and can be consumed on the go that don't just back me up or set things off.
