hi everyone. i had the oddest pain following consumption of cooked "safe" organic green beans [??] anyone else? the pain came the next morning/daytime and it felt like i had a twist/knot on my lower right side. today i felt immense pressure all across my whole lower abdomen. for those of you who read my plan B post: is this some kind of wierd aftermath-thing since my body doesnt take birth control drugs or did i just have a really really bad reaction to the green beans??  thanks guys for any info. i am in so much pain its killing me! [not really but you know] *HUGS* guys, hope youre all feeling well~

How much did you eat and what else did you eat with them? Green beans are "IF" in case you did not know that. Could also just be stress related to plan B?

If you added the corn, that could have just bumped the IF too high. Also, I have noticed that sometimes if I eat something 2 days in a row, it will bother me. (BTW, I also suggested this to someone in my support group one time and when she spaced her potentially problematic food items out over a few days rather than every day, she didn't have the problems.)

Have you had them before with no problem? Did you eat a piece of white toast first? Were they cooked?
I eat green beans a lot! I usually cook and puree them and have them on rice noodles or with potato.
I would bet on the corn or the pill you took. Just my opinion.

I bet it was the Plan B. I actually made a post awhile ago about Plan B, and how it gave me an attack

Juist reading about having green beans 2 days in a row made my stomach knot up! They're one of the first foods I realized I could NOT eat. I was about 12 (had IBS for 5 years already) before I permanantly scratched them off my list. Even cooked they still hold their stringy, fiberous shape. *shudder*
Sorry, just one last *shudder* again.

Little Bear, I'm willing to bet it was the corn that caused the problem. Corn has an evil effect on me!
Like Melissa, beyond spinach & dark leafies (cooked/pureed), if I eat the same veggies 2 or 3 days in a row, I feel ill or have an IBS-attack.
I like to blend (puree) my green beans with a half cup or so of spinach. It ensures that nothing will "shoot" out of my but or give me a cramp. YES, I know, I'm a play it safe & food process person in general.
I can only eat the fresh ones. Canned ones make me ill. Ditto for frozen. I don't know why!
Okay, a bizzaro comment--when you puree them, they have an interesting look coming out--you can literally see the pectin formation.
Enough said, lol!
Kate, IBS-D.

Sorry, I haven't read the other posts but I'd say that right now, in the aftermath of some major and unusual hormonal fluctuations, not to mention the stress of the whole situation, anything IBS that seems unusual or new or trigger-y should probably not be taken as law. What I mean by that is that green beans *might* be particularly problematic for you (they're IF) but I'd give them another try when your gut has more of a "fair chance" again, so to speak, without the hormones and the stress and such.
I'm D, but oddly enough I actually find green beans to be one of my safest IF forms. Go figure I guess 
Best wishes; hope you start feeling better soon! *hugs*
