Hi folks, I'd appreciate your advice, felt really grotty since Monday, very queasy,"upset" stomach, loose stools and some diarrhoea,my urine is dark and concentrated first thing in the morning and I have cold-like symptoms: runny nose, discoloured mucus(sorry!),slight cough, feeling hot then shivery. Trying to work out whether I'm having an Ibs flare-up or a mild bout of gastric flu, I started the Fodmap diet 10 days ago, also lactose free, the bloating is better but nothing else has improved. Now I'm feeling like this I haven't a clue what to eat, I'd normally have toast and cream crackers and the like but I hate the gluten-free bread (though I've persisted with it)and cream crackers are obviously wheat based. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

All I can really say is I suffer chronic IBS and I tried the Fodmap diet,and after 6wks of it I felt really ill,and my husband done me some toast proper bread and process soup,because he felt my body was lacking vitamins as the Fodmap diet is so resticting . If I were you I'd consult your GP.
hi, I have porridge for breakfast, oats is supposed to help with feeling down. I have rice cakes for lunch. I felt feverish for month but I work in a hospital and eventually got flu. I started FODMAP last summer.
