This IBS flare (although my neurosis has me worried it may be something worse) caused me to miss dinner with friends. It was a sit-in-traffic car ride a good half hour away and I couldn't risk the IBS unknown. Besides, my friend was picking me up and she has a nice car. Didn't want to soil the seats.
Of course after I said I couldn't go, there was no urgency like I had dreaded, and I could've gone after all. But I think many people with IBS will agree, that is the frustration of it all- you never know.
So, I got out the last of the polenta roll, smushed it up, put black beans, olives and cheese ontop and baked. After it was out of the oven I put avocado with jalapeno hot sauce on it. (I am waiting to see the outcome of the hot sauce...)
It was edible, and definitely something you wouldn't share. It just doesn't look appealing. There is some leftover, and I will perform my ritual of putting it in the fridge even if I don't intend to eat it again.
Because polenta is a soluble fiber, I might have to eat more of it if this flare continues. So, I can't say goodbye to the polenta for now. If only I had some Bacon Salt!
