Pages: 1 I was IBS free at an out of town conference!       #106427 - 09/17/04 07:14 AM Edit Reply Quote amo616 Reged: 08/16/04 Posts: 236 Loc: Ontario, Canada I just spent a week at a conference where I had little control over my food choices as meals were small buffets. Almost all the entrees had creamy sauces on them and one day my lunch choice was a hot ham and cheese croissant or a roasted pepper and cheese quesadilla plus green salads plus cream of cauliflower soup!! Argh -- just terrible choices for someone with IBS-D! I took two psyllium before each meal and brought cereal and soy milk for breakfast and ate white rolls or potatoes first whenever possible and had absolutely no IBS symptoms, just as I had none when on vacation in July and August. So evidently living at home gives me IBS!!! Unlike my vacations, this conference trip was not stress free -- although it's different stresses than at home for sure. It's frustrating. I follow my diet rigorously at home and have problems if I veer even slightly from the path. If I leave town, I can eat high fat and dairy foods with little problem. I even had creme brulee for dessert one night!!! I'd like to hear from others who are in similar boats. -------------------- Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: I was IBS free at an out of town conference!       #106431 - 09/17/04 07:26 AM Edit Reply Quote Kimm Reged: 03/10/04 Posts: 1171 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada It's weird...I've experienced that too!! I find during the summer months when I tend to spend weekends at my cottage I feel fine!! I spend all week struggling with C and then on the weekends at the cottage I'll have normal BMs ....maybe it's because I'm not as stressed out when I'm in the country??

My personal theory is that the adrenaline protects us until we get home. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
