Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | post- duathlon yuckiness

I competed in a duathlon on Sunday and really pushed it and finished in less time than I had thought I could. Afterward I felt ok but tired and then ate a small muffin and some fruit they had there. I stood up and had a lot of pain in my gut so I wanted to get home ASAP. I assumed I would have D (I took an immodium before the race just in case) or even vomit. I didn't- just had a little poo when I got home and showered and went to bed. I felt so awfully tired I couldn't believe it! I had trained for the race. Then I felt tired all evening and now for 2 days I have been so tired and so sore and my cold is back and my hunger/digestion is off. I am not sure how I should have handled eating after the race or what would make me feel better. Any ideas?

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
