Hi.
You asked a good question.
I too had a great deal of bloating and PAIN when I consumed rice and also beans.
I checked with some other sources (this was last year after 30 years as a vegan) and what helped was this (And I feel healthier for it.)
I presprout(through soaking) all grians and beans before consumption.
Rice I soak at least 24 hrs (In distilled water)
Beans contigent upon size up to three days.
Also I find if I center on fermented grains and beans (Miso primarily) that I have better digestion.
Also I keep my portions small.
You stated that you have begun to eat potatoes?
My experince with the family of Nightshade (tomatoes potatoes eggplant peppers) are detrimental to health. I experienced arthiritic pain for years and when I began to eliminate tand hen finally cut out that those food sources my joints no longer hurt (This I did while also fasting one day a week on water and vegetable juice)
