If I know I've just consumed too much fat in a meal, can I still cut the fat by immediately eating something non-fat, such that the total percentage of fat in the whole meal is within the acceptable range?
After my morning acacia-fennel-peppermint brew, I had some potato bread, toasted, with my beloved Soy Garden on it. I didn't measure the amount of Soy Garden I put on the toast, but I probably used too much because I really love the stuff. Immediately I became nauseated and blamed the fat content -- so I quickly grabbed a half of a small banana and ate it in an attempt to reduce the total fat content of my breakfast.
Am I cheating? Does this work? I gotta say, my nausea is diminishing as we speak...... think I'll eat the other half banana.......

Hmm. I don't know, Bev, but bananas are high in soluble fiber so it wouldn't surprise me! I do think the total amount of fat in the meal is more important than one little piece of it.
Sorry you're not feeling well this morning! I hope your naner puts you on the track to recovery!

I had something similar happen this weekend. DH and I were watching the Super Bowl with some friends. I avoided the cheese plate, but the main course was lentil and knockwurst stew. Lentils, yummy - knockwurst, yummy and only there for seasoning, but X-rated! I ate a smallish amount with lots of sourdough bread, but I was starting to feel slightly iffy.
We brought dessert: Heather's Vermont Maple Pie. I had a nice sized slice without the creme fraiche that the non-IBSers in the room got....and my belly got happy. I don't know how much of that was my being happy that I survived the entire meal and how much was the pie outweighing the bit of knockwurst in my stew, but I'm now claiming Vermont Maple Pie as a medicine!
