"I hope people see that symptoms aren't always caused by a specific thing you ate. If you follow that road, it will just be frustrating. If you realize IBS is irritable then setbacks are more understandable. "
Oh Little Minnie, Thank you for this! I love these boards, but have been frustrated recently that everything seems to be "I had an attack, but I ate safe food, so what hurt me?"
I only was able to get stable once I could admit that EVERY food in the world has gotten me sick at one time or another. If I said it was something specific, I would be a mess. Instead, I eat very safe foods and if I get an attack, sometimes it's stress, sometimes it really is out of the blue. Irritable is a great word to describe our bellies.
Now, I COMPLETELY agree there are trigger foods and we NEED to stay away from them, but if we focus only on our diet, it's an endless road.
Thanks for the post, LM, it was nice to hear!
