I hear ya. The thing with non-food related IBS issues is that there is this idea that 'I feel bad so it was something I ate', when, as I have said many times, you can eat the same thing every day and have a good day then a bad and then a good and so on. So common sense needs to factor in and sometimes a 'gut' instinct. Sometimes you eat something and as it hits your throat you suspect it won't agree with you. Sometimes you eat things you eat all the time and have terrible grumbles or bloating. So my advice to all is to definitely pay attention to what you eat and definitely muster all your self-control, but don't think that your IBS will be cured by finding all the problem foods OR that if you have trouble it was some (usually safe) food you ate. I truly hope this helps anyone out there with discomfort.
--------------------
IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
