Hey dont give up....i tried to juice fast and d the 5r program but was too hard so went to FODMAPS....i felt normal as was eating fairly well, but made a 3 bean curry with coconut milk today and was mildly bloated....it sucked as had been ok allday with breakfast and lunch/snacks....best to try and stay away from sugar as it is evil in itself, use honey if you can tolerate it....im fine with certain dairy but there are certain things i just cant eat so i understand....anyway hope your FODMAPS journey goes well....happy eating!
