Pages: 1 "good" fats not a trigger?       #25607 - 11/05/03 10:19 AM Edit Reply Quote fishnets Reged: 10/09/03 Posts: 515 Loc: MA Is it possible for only bad fats(saturated/trans fats) to be a trigger, but not good fats(poly/mono)? I find my IBS symptoms worse if I eat things like fatty junk food or fried things, yet I can eat olive oil/flaxseeds/peanut butter and be just fine. Just wondering if it's like this with anyone else. -------------------- IBS-C Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: "good" fats not a trigger?       #25627 - 11/05/03 10:50 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Hi - to some extent it will depend on the quantity of fat. Too much of any kind - even good fats - can cause problems. All fats are GI stimulants, even the good ones, so just like insoluble fiber, if you eat a lot of good fat, you're likely to have a flare. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
