FODMAP after a week still get intermittent gurgling on left side of colon

[hello9090]

Hi All,

After a week on FODMAP, it has improved my D condition. But I still get intermittent gurgling on left side of colon ( navel level) . I wonder why ?

Thank you

I have been on FODMAP 3.5 years and get gurgling on the left (descending colon), prior to D&V and feeling faint still if I eat something I would call "safe" but a larger portion. Such as, I limit my grapes in one sitting to 6, but I eat any more fruit I react. I think it will take a lifetime for me to determine my "safe" foods, still learning! Sorry I cannot help further.

Fodmap did not work for me im afraid not that it wont work for you.

I found giving up gluten,dairy and yeast worked for me.

I still have gurgling if i eat something i shouldnt have done by accident but i find if i take a probiotic or peppermint capsule it goes pretty quick.

I always make sure that when i eat i always drink a big glass of water after so it helps it descend the colon

thank you. Which probiotic you take ? I found peppermint capsules helpful too.But hoped with FODMAP they might not be needed.

I use a probiotic just from holland and barratt , peppermint cap and digestive enzyme half hour before eat then i can pretty much eat anything( although im healthy eater anyway so i wouldnt b scoffing a kfc or anything. Also i tend to stay away from onions

It can take 8 weeks for the fodmap diet to work. Hopefully it will improve after a bit longer

It's normal for the bowel and stomach to make noises it's called peristalsis. It's the muscles contracting and moving to food along. I'd be worried if i heard nothing to be honest
