I've posted in other threads about my IBS-D. I've got it mostly under control for the last few months, but yesterday was a baaaaad day. I was feeling fine, being lazy, decided to have a healthy snack of a cucumber with some ranch dressing. Sliced up the whole large cucumber and ate it. All I'd had prior to that was a light salad and some tea. Still felt fine but out of nowhere I had a sudden immediate urge to go to the bathroom. Made it just in time. I had recalled hearing before that too much cucumber can be bad, but I never expected such a sudden reaction. It took less than 30 minutes after eating for the dreaded D to strike. Luckily I had Imodium on hand, took two right away. Just a heads up to anybody out there who likes cucumbers. Eat in moderation!

Oh no! That’s really unpleasant for you 😕. Cucumbers are 98% water, so that will be why you exploded. 😬😬😬
That’s really unpleasant. I can’t eat lettuce and some other veggies as it’s one of my trigger foods.
I know that with some food I’m fine with like Thai food and one minute I have a pad Thai and I have to run straight to the toilet. Apparently it’s to do with your gut sensitivity but I’ve had IBS for 5 years and still struggling with it.
I'm scared of pad thai now. I have only ever had it from one restaurant and I always order the exact same thing. Last time though within 30 minutes of eating I had to RUN to the bathroom. It sucks I've had IBS about 4 years or so.
