Experiences with

Fodmap

Some are low FODMAP apparently but anyone else find they give you gas, even the so called safe ones ?

Has anyone had any experience with doing a vegan low fodmap diet?

Hi, would like to know what you all drink, I try to follow FODMAP, as best I can, but water loses its appeal after a while. I drink decaf black coffee, also 2filter coffee per day

Hi all, I wondered if anyone has followed a vegan low fodmap diet and has any advice?

Hi all, I’m looking for advice in terms of people’s experience of what works well for diet. I appreciate that the key driver of IBS is diet but it’s something I am really struggling with getting started and building momentum with. Do people have a go to diet / routine when you have flare ups that

It would be really useful to have an app so information is at hand. Does anyone use such an app. UK version would be really useful. Thank you Richard

We have tried the fodmap diet, and medications. We have now done a colonoscopy and are on prescription medication. We are very concerned that these meds are not helping after 3 months of taking them. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found anything that has worked for you?

Been following FODMAP for four days, thought it might be working, but got a sudden attack of the runs yesterday. Feeling a bit down now, any advise would be helpful

A low FODMAP has been suggested, but I'm reluctant to start on this as it seems complex & potentially causes problems, from what I've read. I had IBSD many years ago, while working in a stressful environment, and I found Aloe Vera juice helpful. but my current discomfort is completely different.

I’ve tried every food FODMAP still the same. It changes how you are, irritated, exhausted depressed every day non stop. The consultant has clearly given up and referred be me to a dietitian, I’m not hopeful. I probably know more about how my inside works. Any help from anyone would be great

The last months I have had terrible stomach issues, very likely some kind of irritable bowel thing (I have dormant Crohn's--this is not a flare--no elevated inflammation) and I am seriously experimenting with the low FODMAP diet to see if I can turn this around.

I found this NHS/Phd study which sounds really good and you can do it even if on low fodmap diet, as they just give you a supplement to take for a month, a prebiotic - GOS sugar found in breast milk (but synthesised in the lab).

I try to keep with low FODMAP diet and recently seem to be managing a little better - haven’t used docusate laxative for maybe 6 weeks. Frequently I will have a day of very little food - and drink - because I just can’t manage any, but I’m usually feeling a bit better the next day.

He gave me the fodmap diet but I’m already doing gluten and dairy free he also gave me exercises for the prolapse. I know it’s only been a few weeks but there is no difference so far. I’m so anxious about going out in case I need to go urgently.

Male, for the Last 4 years have suffered from IBS -D ( mainly diarrhoea )diagnosis after colonoscopy & associated blood tests I was advised by a specialist to take Imodium (loperamide) daily after first poo, I follow the FODMAP diet & LOW insoluble fibre.

Started the low fodmap diet in 2021, and stopped eating gluten, and cut out sugar. My symptoms improved until recently. Now I'm having daily abdominal pain and I'm not passing as much stool as I was a couple of years ago. I'm seeing a third gastro specialist today to talk about symptom relief.

I’ve tried gluten free, lactose free and FODMAP diet but nothing helps. I’m on 25mcg of Thyroxine and 5mcg of t3 (paid to see Endo I was so desperate). My results are Tsh 2.61 Free T3 3.8 Free T4 14.7 I don’t have ranges Full blood count, cortisol etc all good.

This came after 4 years of drs appointments, colonoscopies, endoscopies, breath tests, FODMAP etc. My main issue is the bloating. I am bloated from the second I wake up, despite not having eaten anything. I suffer from body dysmorphia and so this is really affecting me.

I’ve already tried the fodmap diet but found it hard being a vegan. I’ve been using the Nerva app which has had a positive result but I’m still struggling a lot. Any advice or recommendations about what I should do or where I can get further help as a vegan with IBS would be greatly appreciated.

I’m underweight so FODMAP not appropriate. Any sharing of personal experience with diet would be really appreciated thanks x
