Anyone else have issues with resistant starch?

Question

This is boggling my mind on why it started happening in August of this year. I would plan my meals in advance, whether it be white potatoes or white rice (any variety). I'd then heat them up or sometime eat it cold for the added benefit on the resistant starch to feed my gut bacteria. But for some reason I cannot digest any of that properly. By that I mean I am feeling bloated and gassy HOURS later. It's messing with my sleep and my concentration. If I were to make instant white rice it wouldn't be as bad but regular rice that has been cooked and cooled then reheated will mess me up.

None of this shit is a FODMAP. I feel similar to if I ingested garlic or onions but without the stinky farts. All I'm using on my food is black pepper and salt.

I think that issue is common with SIBO but someone else might need to confirm.

It’s somewhat common and the first thing I suggest to people if low Fodmap doesn’t work for them.

It makes sense, though, doesn't it? Make sure you eat your rice and poatoes freshly cooked.

A green banana here and there causes me no issues, but a potato salad that has been sitting in the fridge for two, three days... Man, I get soooo bloated (potato salad made low-fodmap)

I have major issues with potatoes, it is one of my very few trigger foods. I always feel crazy saying that I’m basically intolerant of potatoes, but I cut them out of my diet and it cut down on stomach cramps so much

Do you have any issues with nightshades?

Not that I have noticed but I’ll keep an eye out! I never heard of those veg being related

I find resistant starch helps a lot, but I'm IBS-D so whatever effect it's having on you is probably beneficial for me.
