Good points Augie... I know personally if I ate oatmeal more then 1-2 days in a row, I would get an attack.
Fishnets- I see you're IBS-C and you say oatmeal can give you an attack, but what exactly constitutes an "attack" with IBS-C ( while with D. its obvious)? Is it sudden prolonged C. when things had been moving well, bloating, gas? If its an onset of prolonged C., isnt it hard to tell what exactly it was of what you ate that caused it? I'm alwys bloated/gassy, and often stopped up so i guess i wouldnt know what my attacks are like/when/from what i get them. I'd like to know so i can start paying better attention and figure out what foods exactly bother me! thanks!
