My week has been perfect with BMs and all. If eating a trigger food, it is very small and with IF and SF. Yesterday I went for a breast biopsy. I didnt want to eat much so I just had a cup of herbal tea and a 1/2 banana. Towards the end of the procedure, the cold sweats started, felt nauseous, felt the blood rushing out of my body. They sat me up and gave me a cup of cran juice and a few honey roasted peanuts. This was at 1PM. At dinner which was at 630PM I ate some sauteed skinless chicken breast, mixed steamed vegetables and a potato knish. I felt the BM coming on so I went to the bathroom and for the whole time it was great and towards the end, the cramps started and the D came. Why? Do you think it was the cran juice and nuts?

Frankly, just the stress of a breast biopsy is probably enough of an explanation.
All of the rest could have contributed to it: not eating much before the biopsy so the juice and peanuts hit a basically empty stomach, not eating again until dinner. I don't know what you mean by eating small amounts of triggers during the week but that probably didn't help either. And if knish had triggers that's just piling on.
If for some reason you have to not eat for a good part of the day, when you do start eating again, try having just small amounts of Soluble Fiber foods every little while until you've got a fair amount in your stomach. And when you do eat your next meal, make sure it's heavy on Soluble Fiber so, for example, the vegetables are cushioned by rice, pasta, potato, bread, that kind of thing.
I hope your biopsy results are good.

Frequently cranberry juice contains HFCS and the nuts were honey coasted. Both of these contain excess fructose which may cause D in fructose sensitive individuals.
