On two ocassions recently I was faced with the following
1. friends house and they made party potatoes (which I love) that has cream cheese (I saw the box and it said 1/3less fat) I did eat it because I was weak and ended up with terrible bloating.
2. Ate at another friend's house and they made a mexican dish and without thinking I ate light sour cream on the dish. Now the light sour cream did not bother me.
Does anyone know why cream cheese would bother me but not the sour cream. I have noticed this in the past too, where I can get by with sour cream but I cannot with cream cheese -- there is a definate different consistancy, but what else -- they both have dairy in them which is a big no no for IBSers.

perhaps some preservatives that were in the cream cheese but not sour cream? I mean, maybe it's wasn't the "dairy part" that triggered your attack but something else? Just a thought.

That's a puzzler. Sour cream turns into a ninja in my gut and it kills my tummy every time.

As you probably know Heather recommends not eating dairy of any kind. Light sour cream and light cream cheese are still high in fat. If you eat enough of either one you are likely to have problems.
Is it possible that you ate more cream cheese than sour cream?

There probably was a higher consistancy in the potatoes per serving than there was in my dollop of sour cream that I used --- that is probably the difference. I know Heather does not recommend using any dairy at all -- I have not been able to give it up totally yet.
