Thanks for clarifying that, Laurel, I agree that it's different for D and C people. I was trying to say that here:
"For D people it may be as simple as the last thing they ate. For C people it is obviously a lot harder to know."
but I didn't spell it out because I was thinking about Beth who I know is C. A trigger is a trigger, but D people tend to react fast, soon after eating a trigger, even, as you say, immediately. C people react slow and may only notice symptoms shortly before excreting a trigger.
As an A, I vary quite a bit depending on what kind of trigger it is and some other things too. I am working on trying to get some consistency by slowing things down a bit - it gives me more control so that I can experiment with IF foods without going back to complete chaos like before ...
Anyway, yes, the value of this test is to narrow down the possibilities when trying to identify trigger foods, which is probably more of a problem for C people than D people. But I think if anyone feels really uncertain about how slow or fast their system works, it is worth doing the test, just to increase their understanding of themselves.
Best wishes,
Josephine
