Has anyone had symptoms after eating Dill pickles? I have IBS d and had some Dill pickles in a chicken salad and the next day ended with gas pain and loose stools. Thanks ---

I remember reading a long time ago that pickles is very bad for the digestive system for someone with diarrhoea.  I would like to post a link but it will likely be deleted but typing this into a search engine will surely give you many results saying the same.  I would never touch anything like that again.  This is why I only eat my own salad now.  The other week I had a sandwich from a shop and something disagreed with me as I was very ill the next day.  No idea what it was but those little additions they put in sandwiches can definitely upset my stomach. ---

Hi:  I replied to you yesterday but since I included a link to the list of no no foods, my reply went into the ozone (had a link to a web site).  Yes, I've had trouble with pickles or maybe it was the chicken salad I too ate -- think mayo, etc.  Hard to know unless you eat chicken salad without pickles or vice versa.  I have had problems with pickles and there are on the avoid food list of possible triggers.  Do a net search of pickles and IBS.  You'll find the article.  Hope you are feeling better.  I know exactly where you are coming from.  Frustrating and feeling ill.  ---

If I have chicken salad I have a whole meal bap chicken and maybe a few spinach leaves or cucumber and that is it. No mayo, no pickles as that extraneous stuff makes me so ill. I met up my my ex a few years back and she bought me this baguette and bit into it after she said it was plain. I swallowed a mouthful of mayo and possibly pickles. I wrapped it and when I arrived back at her house I tried to make it as bland as possible wiping off all the mayo and anything else and I did a good job but I still very ill and decided it would be for the best and leave. Unfortunately I had to try and eat some of it a short she did not have anything else in and if I had not eaten I would have had a sure fire migraine. As it was I ended up with one anyway but that was 50/50. I am usually ill the following day but that was within a few hours of that baguette. I definitely blame the sauces and other gunk they put on. My stomach just can't process any of it. ---

Sorry I know this condition is so frustrating.  Try eating a pickle by itself, if you're feeling brave and see if you have a reaction.  I can eat a pickle alone (I love them) but I know they should not be eaten.  I too suspect sauces when I'm not sure of the ingredients.  I went out for breakfast for the first time in at least 2 years and was happy that the eggs and bacon stayed in.  Sigh.  ---

It's not worth it. It's going to take a few days for gut to get back in shape 😑 ---

I did and all they have is diets. I would like a guide of what foods one should eat that would not upset the gut and which ones would or could cause upset. It's would be nice to have something on hand. ---

I have ibs-C and this may be why pickles affect me differently, but I can eat pickles without symptoms. It may be worth another try if you are up to it or particularly love them. ---
