Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: totally not worth it

"Do you think it's because our bodies are used to the nice comfortable food then all of a sudden they've been hit with something that will upset them so pain comes whereas before the pain would be more random because I'm constantly putting triggers in?"

Yep, that's totally how I see it.. My attacks were so random before, and now it's only right after a trigger food.

"I thought it could be the knowledge that it's a trigger and so I'd worry which would cause the attack but when I had the coke I was feeling confident cos I had some the night before."

I've had a trigger food before without realising it was a trigger food, and had immediate D 30 mins later. I had a tomato soup that I thought was safe, but milk was the 2nd ingredient which I noticed after the D attack. So no I don't think it's because we know it's bad for us..

And I agree, bites of trigger foods are so not worth it! And I do find the cravings go away with time. Cheese seems really greasy to me now, and I'm totally satisfied with chocolate cake/brownies instead of hard chocolate.
