Pearlmaj:
I can't tell you exactly what caused you problems, but here are some points to ponder:
1. Organic versus conventional. Was the food you ate conventional or organic? (Organic is safest for IBS people.)
2. Did the salt, cranberry juice and saltines contain any additives or chemicals? (Additives and chemicals can pose problems for IBS people. Some brands of sea salt can be purchased without additives and chemicals.)
3. What were the ingredients in the baguette? For example, did it contain any milk products or additives? (It is always safest for IBS people to either make their own bread or buy it from a bakery which bakes the bread using IBS safe ingredients.)
3. Pepper? (Pepper can cause problems for IBS people.)
4. Asparagus? (Not sure about asparagus, but was it organic?)
5. Dried apple without soluable fibre? (A lot of IBS people have problems with fruit. Some, like me, can only tolerate certain types of fruit in a mashed or pureed form with soluable fibre -- for example, pureed babyfood apple sauce on a bun.)
6. Didn't eat on time because of your test? (From personal experience, failing to eat on time or failing to eat small regular meals can cause an IBS attack.)
Hope this helps.
Belinda
