Flavourings or Natural Flavourings - Fodmap

Hi

Does any one know what to try for the fodmap diet to test intolerance to both flavourings and natural flavourings?

Many thanks

Hi there Charlie,

Unfortunately I don't know but are you following the low FODMAP diet through a Dietician? Reason for asking is they should know. I am going to go on the diet myself but have delayed doing that as the funding for a Dietician was removed when I was on the list last time but I have phoned my doctor this week and he's put me back on the waiting list and said he will get me a Dietician so good news there. I will not follow it myself as it's complicated and I wanted to make sure I am eating the right foods and that it's nutritionally balanced.

Thanks for coming back to me. It's a lot of trial and error isn't it. I have done it via the dietician at my local hospital but they discharged me at the start of stage 3 so having to learn things as i go along. It sure is complicated when gluten free and vegetarian to start with. Hope you manage to get things under control.

You are welcome and why have they discharged you? It is very complicated and on top of that we need to ensure the diet we are following is nutritionally balanced. Difficult for you being gluten free and vegetarian. I am a Pescatarian and love my vegetables as well and as we all now vegetables can be a problem.

Here's to wish you every success with the diet, you will get there.
