Flare or just ate the wrong thing?

[Amanda130]

Hi all!
For the past couple of days I have been having some diaherra and I am quite scared that I might be flaring. I've gotten sick on coffee, a sub, and pizza. Since I have been feeling pretty well overall do you think this might have just been a fluke?
Thank you!

Currently on 6mp, benoside, probiotic, and omeproazol

I wouldn't worry too much about it just yet. Coffee, subs, and pizza all definitely have a very good chance of upsetting your stomach. Are you usually sensitive to any foods/drinks?

Thank you so much for your reply! Usually it's soda like Coke but I have taken it out of my diet and it seemed to help!

Have you been able to determine if it's the caffeine or the carbonation in soda that causes you problems? If it's caffeine, coffee would cause the same problems. Even if these things don't typically bother you, they may when you're already having an iffy day, or just for no reason at all. Are you feeling any better now?

Considering the types of foods that can trigger symptoms are basically in EVERYTHING (caffeine, bad oils, gluten for some, dairy for some, etc.) I would wait to worry. Just pay attention to what is happening so that if you symptoms dont improve you can explain everything to your doctor! I always find that when I am trying not to worry I dont pay good enough attention and cant answer their questions as precisely. Good luck!
