quick background...had IBS flareup this past week during menstruation...found heather's book..started diet 3 days ago..am IBS-C. have been eating only oatmeal...but just last night tried some angel hair pasta in veg broth. (veg broth was lovingly made by my dh..but it did feel a bit oily. he said only 3T or so for the whole batch..but i dunno..."trigger"??) i ate only the past that was dipped in the broth.
oh and to complicate things further ...2 days ago, also caught a cold w/ severe sore throat..some sort of flu.
ffwd to this morning...ate one serving (small) of pasta/broth last night..and one med serving this morning...then...diahrrea and cramping.
ate some plain pasta and sourdough bread. which normally i can't eat without severe gas and constipation. well..NO diahrrea..but,alas.. major cramping with gas starting up in the gut! AAAAH!
did i do something wrong? i don't know if i can safely introduce an IF w/ the SF that i'm eating..since i'm coming off an episode w/ the ibs (my upper stomach..GERD ..isn't all that stable , either) along with this gross flu.
sorry this is so long..but i'm not sure if what i'm doing is right...wrong or upside down, ya know? some IBS VETERAN advice, would be greatly appreciated.
btw...i have acacia on order..hope to receive it by the end of the week.
