really breaks down the insoluble fiber and pulverizes the seeds. That makes smoothies much more tolerable than just fresh whole berries. There shouldn't be much air whipped into the smoothie from the blender - it's not being aerated, just blended.
Just FYI, the Valentine's dinner you had was literally nothing but triggers:
Beef Tenderloin, a glass of my favorite Pinot Noir, iceberg lettuce salad
Every single element there could have caused an attack, especially as there is no soluble fiber in there at all. Even with soluble fiber, the meat, alcohol, and insoluble fiber from raw lettuce would have been trouble.
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Best,
