Thank you for the prompt reply. I guess it really can happen just like that - however, that makes me wonder why it can't go away just like that as well. I guess life just isn't fair that way.
I also enjoy rooibos, but I was concerned about it being a trigger since it correlated (I know correlation \= causation) with a gassy and painful episode.
Just now, after reading this board (and on an empty stomach since about 5 hours ago) I had a half avocado and some packaged tuna in water. I also had about 12-16 oz of peppermint tea (pure peppermint leaf purchased from a tea site, not a name brand blend or anything) and about 15-20 minutes after that I had some pretty bad abdominal pain. No gassiness, just pain. It was bad enough I couldn't concentrate on the phone. Now, that seems to be ok by the diet, was the tuna my mistake? It's not on the cheat sheet, but I thought fish was ok. Peppermint tea - at least THIS kind, seemed to make things worse, not better. In contrast, my last meal, at 5:00 PST, before I found this website, was a Fiber One fiber bar (I believe all insoluble, no soluable, plus oodles of sugar), a banana, and some trail mix with almonds, peanuts, raisins, peanut butter chips, and m&m's and after eating that I was fine. In fact, I felt normal until after this recent small meal. Can anyone suggest a reason? Could my previous bad meal have just taken 5 hours to effect me?
Thanks!
