I had the worst attack of my life today. It started about 1 p.m. and ended (hopefully) at about 4 p.m. All I had was chicken soup. Stupid, stupid, stupid. I didn't bother to have anything first, and I didn't realize the second ingredient was "chicken fat". I was just trying to nurse my bronchitis with some hot soup!
I can't get over how bad the attack was, and I am scared now to move, eat, or do anything. I am so sad and depressed, I even cried during some of the attacks.
Now my fiancee and I are fighting because he wants me to go to the doctor and thinks that this diet isn;t working. I tried to tell him that I have tried everything at the docotr, and it didn't work, but he says "there must be something else they can do".
I need some support, please from those who truly understand.
Love,
Laurel

I think Chicken fat must be the worst trigger, it got me once mixed secretly in some risotto I ate. Spent the next day searching for restrooms while on vacation. I feel your pain. Tell your boyfriend it was your fault (one not uncommon with us as we can't be 100% good all the time), not the diets, he should understand.

Laurel, I'm so sorry! I know exactly what you're going through. I had a terrible attack last Friday and am just now getting back to eating semi-normal foods again. I know that feeling of being afraid to eat anything. But just start really slow, with foods that you know are very safe for you. Yes, there's a chance even they will bother you, but you have to eat something! Stick to breads, dry cereals, etc for a while until you're feeling more stable. And drink lots of peppermint tea! And remember, there's nothing wrong with crying. I've certainly done it many times when I'm frustrated with my IBS. But you will get through this, I promise! Hang in there, and big hugs are coming your way!
*HUGS*

I'm sorry you had a rough time with your IBS on top of already being sick. Hope you fell better soon.
The next time you want to eat chicken soup - buy fat free chicken stock made by swansons. You can add your ingred. to it.
I find the premade soups are hard to digust and you will also find MSG in some of those soups.
Feel better.

I guess I learned a hard lesson today about chicken soup being a worst trigger. I just was not thinking clearly with being sick and all already.
Thank you for the kind words of encouragement. They are well recieved!

I know exactly how that goes and as soon as I eat something bad, I instantly start going "darnit, why couldn't I have eatten something really good that would have given me the same attack? LOL"
Hope you start feeling better!
