Hello friends... Here are a couple of questions I hope you can give me some input with.
After a very virtuous and fairly stable week, I went out to dinner this past Sunday night at an Italian restaurant. I know, bad idea, but everyone in the group had received gift cards, so there really wasn't any way to suggest going somewhere else. I thought I could keep things under control by having tiny portions, but it didn't work. By Monday I was horribly bloated (along with the big C, my main symptom and such as enjoyable one, don't you agree?) 
Well, after that I kinda threw caution to the wind. I think I was having a combination of "if I'm gonna serve the time I may as well commit the crime"-thinking, and some frustration over becoming acclimated to this new set of dietary guidelines. To tell you the truth, I've been feeling kinda "poor me, I'll never get to eat anything nice ever again."
So I took some chances to see what I could get away with, and the results have not been good. I've been terribly bloated, with no relief even in the morning. Yuk!
Well, so today it's back to square one, the what-to-eat-when-you-can't-etc-etc diet, and today the symptoms are rather different. I instantly inflate after eating anything, even as innocuous as a bowl of Cheerios or a few spoonsful of rice, then after a few hours and a lot of fennel, charcoal, and Mylanta, I pass a lot of gas and de-bloat somewhat. (Sorry, kinda icky, I know)
OK, all that is in the way of asking this: what has your personal observation been regarding "turnaround time" between eating a trigger and experiencing symptoms, especially the dreaded bloat, how soon do you suffer AND how long? And then after you climb back on the dietary wagon, how soon before you expect some relief/ stabilization?
Of course, I know everybody's body's different, but I 'm just hoping to get a ballpark guesstimate. Thanks for taking the time, everyone.
