Re: Onset of symptoms       03/08/05 06:59 PM Edit Reply Quote dozyveeny Reged: 09/26/04 Posts: 273 Loc: UK A bit late to reply, but in case this is helpful to anyone: when trying to identify triggers it helps to have an idea how fast food usually passes through you. There's an easy way to find out your normal 'transit' time, just take a spoonful of corn kernels (sweetcorn) - the important thing is to swallow them without chewing. They will pass through undigested and be very easy to identify at the other end! Sweetcorn can be a trigger - it is for me - but if you don't chew them at all it should be okay. Take them at the end of a safe meal and you will get a good idea how long it took to pass through. Obviously, different foods move at different speeds, but doing this will provide a basic timeline to use for future comparison and should make it easier to judge whether the D you get on Monday was caused by what you ate on Friday, Saturday or Sunday! Hope this helps. Josephine Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
