- today

Ate black bean burger with quinoa. Intense pain

-last 4th of July

Ate a Salmon with quinoa. Same intense pain.

Like intense grab your bed sheets and clench and turn. Ya know.

But I'm pretty sure it's only when its large portions.

Because dosen't most stuff nowadays have something with a little quinoa in it?

And my pain is just alot of intense burning. I know it's coming when my throat starts to burn after 20 mins. Then my stomach... Ibs included. I've have ibs for about 2 years now.

Good to know now. Any additional help or stories will be appreciated.

I have learned over the years to avoid any foods with a lot of fiber, they are a major IBS trigger. My guess is the fiber is irritating and promotes too much peristalsis in the colon, both things an IBS sufferer should avoid at all cost.

PS - Eliminating sugar and nearly all starches was a big help too.
