i used to ry and connect every attack to foods i was eating and wound up with a very limited diet and driving myself nuts, what it all comes down to is a few things that i know i am sensitive to and realising that when i am not stable i would get random attacks and that it was just random. I now eat far more varied though i do get nervous when trying new things fro the first time still, but now if i feel icky, i just realize that its just an off day and that i will feel better tommorrow. Try not to get too wound up in triggers whil;e you are stabilizing, you sound like you are doing all the right things.

It very well could have been a flu type bug, tis the season but gee, as if ibs people didn't have enough to worry about to add a sickness to it too huh?
Thats one of the sucky things about ibs, it's not just the food that could trigger it. Could have been stress related.. On occassion I find that even though I don't think I'm stressing, my body tells me otherwise by acting icky.. I would eat plain spagetti noodles with nothing but a bit of salt for flavor and at one point even that made me ill...
Mind you I have been doing a hell of alot better since the hypno tapes (no D in almost 4-5 months, only minor pain attacks when over eatting/indulging)

The effects can take 24-48 hours to occur. Don't forget when you put something in your stomach you stimulate the gastrocolic reflex which may activate a trigger you ate hours or perhaps a day or two earlier.
