A meal like that would have caused pretty intense pain for me. Usually my attacks start about 30 mins after eating something bad (usually dairy or chocolate, I tend to avoid red meat completely) and last about 2 hours. I'll have intense pain and bloating followed by 4-5 BMs. I start drinking peppermint tea as soon as I feel pain, and continue drinking for a while after.
However, I usually don't eat much trigger foods, so if I ate a full meal with beef or dairy in it, it might cause a worse attack. I haven't had a full serving of dairy or red meat since being stable.
The difference in being stable is the recovery from the attack. I may take an Imodium if I need to go somewhere or just want it to stop, but the attack will go away on its own like I said after a couple hours. After the pain and BMs stop, I'll eat some safe SF, and drink some peppermint tea. After that settles I can usually have a normal but still safe meal with SF, IF and protein. The next day I usually feel 100% better.
Usually I'll eat something bad at dinner, like at a restaurant or during a chocolate craving. So by the time I wake up the next day I'm fine. I recently had an attack in the morning after doing a breakfast at a restaurant, but was able to eat a normal lunch, snack and dinner the rest of the day.
