hi there, I'm 20 too and I know what it's like to have the pain like everyday I've been a lot better since starting Heather's diet, although it has taken a long time to work -I started in feb this year. are you on that at the moment? give it a try if you're not. yeah it is very frustrating when you eat something one day and you're fine then the next time you have it , you're in pain. all I can think of is that you don't handle broccoli very well. also, maybe you need more soluble fiber in the meal as a base so you can then eat the broccoli safely. But yes it is quite possible that you had a delayed reaction to something else you ate earlier. there are also other factors that can effect ibs like stress, tiredness, hormones etc so take these into account aswell. Make sure you have enough rest and also take exercise cos this helps in general, it's also a great stress reliever. Hope things work out soon xxx
