NO Problem at all Lisa, I know how it is. My ex boyfriend used to yell at me when I did't want to eat after an attack (maybe thats why he's an ex). WIth IBS I realized its not completely mental, but you do ave to overcome your fears of bringing on an attack and just take a chance. Like you eating your bagel after something like Chicken soup affected you. Keep me posted. I"m still tyring to gain 5 more pounds and my period is next week grrrr . Dont you just hate how when it comes around it came aggrevate the IBS and you get to look forward to it every month.
