Where to get enough fibre when you can't tolerate ....

[EllieP]

....... oats, rice, any grains at all, beans or pluses.

I know I can't be the only one that's sensitive to all grain, pluses and beans. I feel bloated and blocked. How are you getting enough fibre in your diet to keep a healthy flow, so to speak!

Fruits and vegetables.

Psuedo grains like buckwheat (not related to wheat), seeds and nuts are another possibility.

Thank you for these suggestions. If you're sensitive are you able to eat quinoa? Buckwheat? I can't tolerate rice, oats, bean or cornflour. I sometimes miss the bulk (fibre) that rice and oats give.

@EllieP,

Have you tried Basmati Rice?  It's the type of rice that's well tolerated, least likely to provoke a reaction, easily digested.  

I can't tolerate rice or grains, especially corn, but I found I can have basmati rice.  

It should be near the other types of rice....short grain rice, brown rice and black rice.

You'll just have to experiment. The answer won't be the same for everyone. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/diet-nutrition/a25438225/is-quinoa-grain/

Buckwheat is the seed of a plant related to rhubarb so not a member of the grass family.

Buckwheat and quinoa are good as mentioned. I would recommend lots of vegetables. Acacia fiber is really good also and helps promote good bacteria growth, as most fiber does.
