Well, some newer people with IBS-D maybe would like to know why sometimes you can eat a certain food with no trouble and the next time you cant.
'According to a leading researcher in the field, at least 3.5 ounces of the offending food are frequently needed to provoke symptoms of IBS. Others have reported that the offending foods need to be eaten at two consecutive meals, or along with another trigger food or at least two days in a row.'
What we do is we eat a bad food and don't have any trouble so after a while we push ourselves over our limits and it will hit us with a whamo!
Also:Preliminary evidence suggests that some people with IBS malabsorb the sugars lactose (as found in milk), fructose (as found in high concentration in fruit juice and dried fruit), and sorbitol (as found in some dietetic candy). Lactose is frequently malabsorbed, and fructose and sorbitol absorb more slowly and less completely than regular table sugar, even in healthy people. As a result, most people in the study, including those who were healthy, showed evidence of malabsorption of at least one of these sugars. However, unlike healthy people, those with IBS-like symptoms had greater symptoms when consuming high concentrations of lactose or the combination of fructose and sorbitol. In this report, restricting intake of these sugars led to reduction in symptoms in 40% of those people with IBS-like symptoms. Therefore, when attempting to uncover food sensitivities, people with IBS should consider the possibility that milk, fruit juice, and dried fruit might cause problems but also must take into considerations the amount of offending food.
