Yes, I have bad days right our of the blue. Like this morning. Okay, it could have been a lot worse, mind you, but I've been doing pretty darn well for about 3 weeks now. Then this morning, I went to go have my usual BM and it was VERY soft – not liquid – but way too soft for my comfort level. Then, about 15 minutes later, I had to go again – there was less volume, but it was even softer. Still not liquid, but unsettling nonetheless. In the back of my mind I thought about staying home, but I told myself that, dammit, I'm not going to be a slave to my IBS. I tried to reach my calm, meditative zone, and while I had a slightly nervous tummy the whole way, I made it to work without incident.
I, too, try to figure out what causes it. Last night I had a perfectly safe dinner – grilled chicken burger with homemade "French fries" which I've had dozens of times without incident. Maybe it was the half peanut butter and jam sandwich I had for a snack later in the evening – peanut butter sometimes seems to bother me so maybe that was it. Who knows!
-------------------- IBS-A since age 12, and fructose sensitive; with the exception of my pregnancy, have been following Heather's diet since Nov. 19, 2007.
Taking 12g of Acacia per day. Relatively stable since March 2008!
