What are your triggers (known or even just suspected)?
For me my number one trigger by far is stress and anxiety. Even the worry of having an attack can trigger one for me. But I also know that there are a few foods that bother me, too. For me, I'd say it's 70% stress/anxiety, and 30% food. For the foods, I know that coffee can be a big potential trigger (especially Starbucks, for some reason, to the point that I just avoid it like the plague); high-fructose foods like fruit juice, corn syrup, and any particularly sweet/syrupy desserts; some high-insoluble fiber foods (particularly whole grains); and sometimes, though not always, high fat foods – I can almost always eat a fast food burger and not have an attack, but breakfast hash-browns fried in oil almost always give me trouble.
For the record, I am predominantly IBS-D.

IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
