Agreed. It isn't as simple as 'I just ate something that made me bloated'. I can eat the same thing for days and be bloated only some of the days. For me, eating very small amounts and reducing calories, being really active, drinking enough and never siting much give the best chance of not being bloated. Improper food can trigger reactions in the gut but you don't need to eat something improper to be bloated. You can get bloated from being too hungry too.
-------------------- 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!
