Ah, that's what I was wondering. It is encouraging that you haven't had such a severe LBS episode since then, and that you think it was from eating something you shouldn't have. I was worried that maybe the episodes would keep happening even with eating very low in fructose, but this bodes well if I can figure out how to eat and stay motivated to do so.
I've started keeping smarties in my backpack too, for when I walk home from school at the end of the day. That's the most common time for the LBS crises to hit, and I'm very vulnerable too since I'm outside, away from home, no bathroom or fuel. I feel so much safer with them in my pack. I had some the other day when I think I was still getting over my last sweet potato exposure, right before the walk, and they worked like a charm. Thanks so much for the idea!
And yes, I'm feeling really good about the psyllium so far. It does seem to be helping slow down the absorption of the white rice that I am relying on these days, and I like the "keeping regular" effect too.
