I experienced the same thing. I am IBS-C and as soon as I started re-introducing IF, my body flipped out and decided pooping was just not going to happen. My tummy swelled up and I was a walking gas tank. I didn't understand. I got so frustrated and even made a post about it .. after some encouragment I just had to make myself suck it up and keep on going. I found that once I just accepted that I was going to be stopped up for a little bit, and gassy, and HUGE .. I, in turn, was able to relax a little bit. Personally, I don't think one slice of tomato is enough to initiate a BM .. but I may be wrong on that one. I know that, for me (I am C) I needed much more. For example, I posted a "Squash and Zucchini Pizza" recipe on the recipe board ... that got things moving for me. Also, adding about 1/2 a C of peas to a bowl of pasta created a BM as well. One other thing .. I found that when I stuck to a specific IF food, my BM'S eventually stopped. I think you need to change things up every couple of days .. b/c your body might be getting used to that certain food.
You are taking an SFS right??
