I've had IBS since I was 12 and as we all know, one day you might be able to eat something, but not the next. Well... I've had a really bad stomach bug accompanied by a lot of stress and everything I eat causes diarrhea, cramping and bloating.
Well, "stupid me"  decided to drink a Slim Fast drink yesterday. After about 6 swallows, I started swelling in my upper stomach, excessive mucus in my throat and thought I was going to have to go to the ER. You can visibly see the swelling. After a long night of pain, heating pad, bathroom, it's some better, but still swollen. I have found, in the past, the bloating/swelling can last for days.
Can someone tell me if this sounds normal? Just get stressed and scared - plus, "tis the season" 
Thanks, everyone, for always being there for me through the years.... MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS!

What flavor Slim Fast did you drink?
What kind of swelling did you have (facial, abdominal,etc)?
Slim Fast isn't a particularly IBS friendly product. Some flavors contain fructose, sucralose, milk proteins and variety of other unfriendly ingredients.

First of all, Merry Christmas!
It as the Chocolate Royale and it caused rapid hearbeat, pressure, bloating/swelling in the upper abdominal area, even felt it in my rib cage and around the back.
This seems to have become a pattern for some foods. My allergist says she "thinks" it's food intolerances, rather than allergies.
I've noticed again today, same thing happening with "No Yolk" noodles. I thought it to be safe. However, the very same thing happened. And, eggs seem to be a culprit too.
Eggs, pasta/noodles used to be a standby for me, but not now.
Thanks for replying - Dorothy
