i don't know *why* fatty foods are a trigger - i don't know if anyone knows why certain foods are, but i find fatty foods to be up there with coffee for me. the whole gastrocolic reflex. it's hardcore.
i'd just say that the fatty foods are quite possibly trigerring your attacks, rather than the spices or something else. it really sucks to have to eat like a sick person, but there are ways to make it work - low-fat peanut butter, for example. there seems to be a lot of sneaky fat in the meals you listed - egg yolks, biscuits, butter, peanut butter, chocolate. (garlic and other harsh spices can also be tricky.) if you're trying to gain weight, i'd look for calories in other places - lean meat, grains, even some sugar. fat can be *really* hard on an ibs system, and the pain just isn't worth it.
