What are your symptoms??

Hiya bronte,
I don't have ibs, but could it be because it's the biggest meal of the day, size wise. (assuming it is). Might be the actual size of the meal and not the contents that bring it on. Just a thought.

hi country girl i do suffer from ibs but about an hour after tea i will get the usual chuning bubbly feeling with loads of wind and then i have to go to the toilet it might be only one visit or might be a couple and its not alway runs its as though the meal as made my bowel work and spasm as i say its not all the time at the most once a week if that x

Keep a note on what you're eating each meal time. then see if there are any corrolations between the foods and the attacks.
I had this happen a few years ago and it actually turned out that Quorn was causing me problems. So I stopped eating it and presto no more dashes to the loo! I'd like to point out that Ive been eating Quorn for about 6 years at this point with no problems, so it could be something that you've been fine with for years that is causing you ibs.
Or as Mick says, it could be the size of your meals. Try eating smaller portions too :)
