Hello all! Do any of you suffer with reheated food ? I cooked a Sunday roast and last night just had the left over carrots and green beans with the gravy over a fresh cooked baked potato (following new fodmap diet!) ! Have been suffering all night with tummy ache and well this morning is not a fun morning so far! Won't be going to far from the loo!!!!!
I could understand it if I ate meat but not with carrots and green beans surely!??
Thanks for listening 🥰🥰XX
I doubt it was the reheated food. I agree that a baked potato and green beens should be OK, but I have found that you can never be certain. I was caught out a week ago, I ate roasted sweet potato, which I have done before without problems, and at 2am I had dreadful stomach ache. This continued on and off for about 24 hours. Took Colpermin which helped. The only green veg I can eat is runner beans, but not too many!
Hi thank you for your reply! The tummy ache I can cope with its the diarreah I can't! Feel locked inside my own home! Too scared to go out anywhere! Sorry to moan, it's a bad day, hopefully tomorrow will be better! Xx
I have suffered for over 40 years, but I have got so used to having the occasional flare ups, it has become just part of life, and I have learnt to cope. In the latter years I don't get IBS D so often. Now it is usually severe pain and bloating. My wife is understanding, as are friends. Worry and stress are bad triggers too. I look upon it as just an inconvenience and I could have something far worse. If I have a bad day or two, I adjust my plans! Tommorrow will be great!!!
Hi Flik22, just wondering how the h.pylori treatment went? Has resolving this helped your symptoms? My main frustration with food is that for me none of it is 'safe' e.g maybe low fodmap blueberries are fine some days and then bam they set me off. Low fodmaps and freshly cooked foods do help but are still inconsistent in terms of how they affect me.
Hey! Tbh I feel no different having had the h pylori triple therapy! I was hoping it would be the answer but nope! Must have been a coincidence we found it!! XX
What a shame! have you been retested just to make sure it is gone? I am surprised it caused no additional symptoms and that getting rid of it has not helped - unless it might take longer to heal... At least it is one less thing to worry about as my mother in law got a nasty ulcer from h pylori infection so getting rid of it at least prevents that
I suffer badly with reheated food!! I can eat something like a roast one day & be fine, have it the next reheated & I get awful diarrhoea!!! I had goulash the other week, reheated it the next night, went to visit a friend & spent most of the evening running in & out of the loo, very embarrassing, fortunately she was really good about it. She lives in a bungalow which made it doubly worse as it’s only a small bungalow & every time I ran off she’d shout it’s ok I’ll turn the tv up!! I don’t know why reheated food gets me but it does!!! I don’t reheat anymore!! 🤣
Poor you 😕. That’s really horrible and I’m sorry you feel so terrible. Just a thought - is it possible you didn’t reheat the gravy enough? I’m a bit OCD about reheating foods.... xxx
Hi. Sorry to hear that you have been suffering so badly. This has also happened to me with reheated food. I am coeliac and also have IBS. I used to take leftovers to work for meals, which was so convenient but I found I had similar symptoms to you. It created terrible wind and urgency to go to the loo. I think it is something to do with the starches in the food. It cools and is then reheated and becomes resistant and the body can't break it down properly and it upsets the whole system. I learnt the hard way as you have. I will never do it again!!xxx
Thank you all for your comments and advice, I will not be eating reheated food again ! Something else to cross of the ever decreasing list of foods I cant eat!!xx
I need some help and advice as im struggling and doctors are not helping me, which is upsetting me now
