Hi there

I could use some help in figuring out how to identify triggers. I appologize if this is further back in the posts and I couldnt' find it in the search.

How do I know if my colon is overreacting to a food or a stress trigger? For example, I fell off the wagon and had a whole piece of chocolate cake on Sunday. I didn't have any problems (other than the general bloating and occasional twinges, I've been expirencing since I went on the Bentyl. But on Wed I expirenced some severe cramping, and had to leave work. Would that have been caused by the food or the general depression and anxiety that I felt during a meeting because I couldn't hear the speakers very well.?

How long after eating something, should I expect cramping? If I am not eating quite as well as I should be. (for instance item has a dolop of yogurt, but is otherwise ok) Should I expect my colon to more reactive to stress triggers?

Any general advise would be helpful, thanks.
