Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | fried = fat = bad for IBS

sorry. fried was my major food group before IBS.

i agree with Shell... i bet it was the fried potatoes.

other thoughts:

if you're sensitive to high fructose corn syrup and there was some in the BBQ sauce, that could be it. (i'm not sensitive to the stuff, but others on the board are)

sounds like a cookout, and cookouts are great. unfortunately, i usually eat too much at them 'cause of all the tempting food. if you eat too much at a sitting, you can trigger an attack.

sounds like a cookout, and cookouts are great. (deja vu!

) but often cookouts are, well... out. and sometimes it's hot out. if it is really hot, that can trigger an IBS attack in some people. (i'm one of 'em. in fact, i hadn't had an attack of D all year 'til this weekend and one of the reasons was that i sat outside in the sun at my bro's graduation. insta-D!)

you may want to Search "applesauce" with the highest date possible (1 year, i think), 'cause it seems to me applesauce comes up on a lot of posts where people are wondering about triggers. i do fine, but there's something telling me i've seen others say there could be a problem...

and even worse:

could have been a combination of all of the above. maybe each of these alone isn't enough to trigger an attack for you but all mixed together with goodness knows what else, you were in prime condition for an attack....

sorry you were sick and hope you're feeling better now.
