IBS trigger foods

[Bs06dw]

Has anyone else experienced IBS flare after eating minced meat? Like ground beef?

I think you will find that everyone is different. Some will have no problem and some will have removed it from their food.

It’s better if you are doing it yourself as you then know what else is added. I find steak is like Russian roulette, sometimes I’m fine, sometimes I’m not. Good luck.

I know everyone is different... i just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same and as i had been fine before and now all of a sudden cant eat mince. Its very strange how our bodies work! Im going to start a diary i think, and do a but more research.

Thanks for your reply!

You never know, you might find it’s something you eat at the same time that you never thought of

Yes. Although I buy lean mince

I cant eat meat now, one of the first triggers I had. I live on fresh fish and vegetables, I cannot eat rice, or avocados, or peppers as they bring on an attack.

It's often suggested that fatty & spicy foods can be unhelpful irritants. So if you start a food diary make a note of the fat content of the mince. If you're making something like a spicy chilli con carne, maybe try a cottage pie or something non-spicy to compare.

Best wishes!
