Re: Question about cheating       01/15/05 04:03 PM Edit Reply Quote Computr821 Reged: 12/02/04 Posts: 445 Loc: University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA/ Baltimore, MD I realize that I'm only a recent addition, so I can't speak from too much experience, but I've found that there comes a point where I need to draw the line. Sure, I'm also worried about triggering, but I'm MORE worried about not eating. The consequences of not eating anything at all, or even the same thing, perhaps, is worse than eating a potential trigger. For example: Today at lunch, I was at a meal with many different types of food, but almost all were slightly problematic in some way or another. But since the main course was deli, and I KNOW red meat is a horrific trigger for me, I opted for a lot of the sides. I had 1) and apple and bread dish, 2) Cranberry Crunch (like apple crisp, but with cooked cranberries), and 3) rice. Sure, the cranberries and apples are insoluble fiber, but the rice, oats in the crunch, and the bread should help balance or diminish the effects of others and I'll still be better off than if I had red meat. I second all the people who say that you should try more things. Paralyzing fear isn't going to help you in the long run. Start off slow and figure out what your body can tolerate. Sometimes you can handle things that other IBS people can't because of how specific each person's body is. Best of luck! -------------------- Why'd you have to go and make me so constipated? --'Weird' Al Yankovic, "A Complicated Song" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
