I have a hard time as well not eating pastries and bread. I will eat them in small portions and I will chew thoroughly, more than 20 chews each small bite. I am also careful to make sure that my bread or pastries has no more than 1-2 grams of fiber. So I will eat maybe one piece of white bread toast in the morning with some butter. I also take olive oil everyday at here is actually a study I found on the benefits of olive oil for SBO due to adhesions. Since I started taking olive oil I have not needed any miralax in about a month now and my discomfort has become less often and less intense.
