That is very common! That is why so many people continue to eat the really unsafe stuff after hearing they shouldn't because the reactions are many times not immediate.
Why is this? when the gut gets those foods very often it just chooses when to freak out; it doesn't do so every moment of the day. Also sometimes it can handle one bad food but not another one on top of it, or stress can play a factor too and cause a tough food to only be a trigger some of the time.
For me, years ago when I thought I had IBS a doctor (not a nice one) just said to avoid dairy and high fat. Well I was eating dairy every day in large portions and because I wasn't having terrible issues every day I didn't think dairy bothered me. After finding the EFI diet years later and avoiding the known triggers, everything fell into place and it became obvious what I couldn't eat.
Then after being on it for a while, triggers became very easy to discern (for the most part). When I fall off the wagon it doesn't take long to get a reaction. Like when i really wanted brie cheese some time ago; I got D on the way home. It was immediate and decisive.
So the only way to go is to avoid the known triggers. They are the most common and make the most sense to be problems for people. After that individual issues can be ascertained.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
