Hi everyone,
I am a new member - very happy to have found Heather's website. I was diagnosed with IBS when I was an early teen 2 plus decades ago and I've always just lived with it. Its gotten worse in last 2 months (daily D but only once or twice), lots of discomfort (I don't feel good, and get cranky faster with my kids, work, chores, etc). I've been following the high soluble diet since Saturday (6 days) with great results. Until, yesterday when I just had to have a cup of coffee. I had a coffee with soy milk at 12:30 with a few crackers. I felt a few rumblings but nothing else. I did have a normal BM right after. Then 2.5 hours later I had rice porridge with edamame. I felt like I ate a little too much. I immediately had a big D and I've been in pain throughout my intenstines (upper back, stomach) since. My question is - was it the edamame (which has both kinds of fiber), that I ate a little too much (but not like I stuffed myself), or the coffee I had a few hours previous?
Related question - is a trigger food something you ate right before a D or might it be something you ate the day before?
Any ideas? Obviously I'm staying away from both coffee and edamame (major bummer) for a while. Does edamame have to be pureed to be safe?
Thanks so much,
Rachel
