But the sentence you quoted above still does NOT indicate that IF acts as a trigger AS SOON AS YOU EAT IT, not when it reaches the colon. But listen, I don't want to turn this into a pissing match, and clearly every one else understood Heather's meaning but me. So consider me informed now. -------------------- IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.

This is usually within 20-90 minutes depending on what is eaten. In the small intestine is acts to accelerate motility which for many of us it causes spasms and pain quickly. You are fortunate you don't have this problem. For some of us it is a real nuisance Have a great day! -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Fiber is not relieving my constipation - Syl?       #361700 - 10/26/10 09:01 AM Edit Reply Quote gas_tank Reged: 08/25/10 Posts: 62 Loc: Michigan I have been reading the posts on this issue and have a question on Syl's last response. Saturday morning I was feeling great and for lunch I ordered a turkey sandwhich, no cheese, on sourdough bread. After the first bite, have not even swallowed the food,I started feeling my intestines fill with gas and was gassy from that moment on. Does that mean I had to much IF in my sandwich or what? I had nothing else but that sandwich and my feeling good moment was gone.

You can see more about eating producing GI spasms in the video interview with Prof. Whorwell titled Diet, eating and IBS -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Fiber is not relieving my constipation - Syl?       #361703 - 10/26/10 09:40 AM Edit Reply Quote gas_tank Reged: 08/25/10 Posts: 62 Loc: Michigan No kidding?

That just makes this even worse to deal with. At least you can possibly avoid an issue by eliminating the triggers. That would mean there is no kind of diet to follow to prevent it and the only course of treatment is the hynotherapy?

Hopefully, you may find the same thing. It is quite possible that gut directed hypnosis might work. You might ask on the hypnosis board. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Fiber is not relieving my constipation - Syl?       #361715 - 10/27/10 10:28 AM Edit Reply Quote gas_tank Reged: 08/25/10 Posts: 62 Loc: Michigan Did you get gastrocolic reflex everytime you ate or only once in awhile?
