Experiences with

Fodmap

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

Well it's here again and as usual I have to cook my husband his roast chicken dinner as for myself I will try to keep to this "SO CALLED" "SAFE FOOD" fodmap so no nice stuff for again Well happy Xmas and happy new year to you all xxx bungi1961

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

Well it's that time of the year again I know it's just me and my husband again I am all ready dreading it as I shall do a roast chicken dinner as I can just about able to eat that well some of it as I will have some of the "BLOODY" stuff from The "SO CALLED "SAFE FOOD" from the fodmap all over again

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

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

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

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

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?

as I am still taking all kinds of IBS tablets for it and trying to do the "FODMAP" diet as best as I can bungi1961

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

Low FODMAP hasn't helped, I'm intolerant to many low FODMAP foods. I'm not getting any help from doctors. My GP has me waiting on another GI referral. In the meantime, I can't eat anymore.

I'm on a FODMAP plan and exercise 30 mins brisk walk daily. I am slowly learning to live with the chemo belly and choose clothes that hide the problem. Thankfully I'm 72 and you can hide problems . I'm sure there are ladies with similar issues. Perhaps we can share "coping strategies" here?

I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 20 years ago and have had worsening gastro issues for as long as I can remember.I've recently made significant dietary changes under the direction of a Dietician (for eg removing gluten for 6 months, elimination of dairy, low FODMAP and using vsl#3 probiotic supplements

I have also tried a strict low FODMAP diet then slow reintroduction of foods but nothing is working to improve my gut issues. I understand that having Hashimotos impacts gut motility and I am about to commence a T3 trial.

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.

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’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

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.
