I haven't had an attack since early this year -- Jan or Feb.
I ate what I thought was a safe meal and got sick. Hear is what I ate:
My fiber, french bread (plain), turkey breast, new potatoes whole boiled in salted water (no butter), and butternut squash w/ a little smart balance light -- which I have had many times before with no trouble (the smart balance).
I thought squash was okay -- and it was well cooked - with no oil or anything... I read that on IBS the first year -- and potatoes have always been safe -- but I don't usually eat the peel... could that be it?

It could have been from something you ate earlier, stress, the weather, medications....?
Sounds like a pretty safe meal to me!

Hi,
I'm thinking it could be the peel. If you haven't eaten that before and now you feel sick....it makes sense.

sounds like either hte potato skin or stress to me... I'm not doing so hot today either.. only thing I can figure is i put a bit of regular ketchup (not the stuff I made) on my "fries" (I bake them and they are yummy and mildly spiced, but DH had ketchup for his and I dunked a few...) or its almost that time of the month and I get worse then aaanyway AND I got up 3 hours early to work the shift I used to work- 5 AM start... between it all- not sure if its the HFCS int he ketchup, or something else entirely.

either mash them with soy milk or eat them baked and scoop out the middle and have no trouble.... so I wondered. Since you said the peel gives you trouble, I'll go with that. Thanks so much --I just don't want to do that again -- and I know you understand.
