Andy,
You ate a "bag of nuts?" Wahoo, lots of roughage. Go easy. Minimize alcohol.

Re: Relapse or Post IBS?
Thanks Roy for the reminder, and Zay for the diet tips. You are right though Bobbie - I am nuts. Lol. Too much worry just makes everything worse. I have started today better though and just went once this morning.
For the record, I haven't been entirely reckless with my diet though. I introduced foods carefully, ate bland for about a month and was okay eating many of my old foods after testing them out a bit at a time. My doctor suggested this. I also tested alcohol a few times a couple of weeks ago and had no issues the next day. I also ate, nuts, steak, fries, ice cream, pudding, pastas and all kinds of bread to name a few. Didn't have any issues, and if anything, my stool patterns and consistency normalized more as I got back to my old foods.
That being said, something started this bad IBS flair (if that's what it is. Hopefully not a relapse). I guess with IBS this is just the nature of the beast. It can occur without rhyme or reason.
I will go back to a bland diet for a while and see what happens.

Andy2007,
No one said you were nuts - only a comment on excessive eating of nuts.Go slow on roughage for awhile.

Ha ha
I must have read that wrong. My apologies. I didn't think anything of it anyway. I am a bit nuts, and my wife thinks so too as I am driving her mad at the moment. Time to take a chill pill.

Andy,
Actually it was a typo - corrected when I discovered it.
C diff drives all a little nutty.

Freudian slip?
