Root veg

[Parsnips1]

Can anyone confirm whether all root veg is ok to eat for an IBS newcomer?

[Luisa22]

Well, the answer is yes....but

Turnips, carrots, parsnips, swedes, sweet potatoes and white potatoes are all on the low Fodmap food list, and supposed to be okay for people with IBS.

But...as we are all different, I can't eat any except peeled white potatoes! Well, I can eat them and like them all but they upset my gut, even though they are low Fodmap.

I think the only way to go is to see how you personally get on with them? I would start with small amounts and see if that works.

Thank you for confirming that my theory is probably correct, because I have never had a problem with white potatoes especially when mashed.

hi there If you can get a copy of FODMAP diet sheet ask your doctor you will see what vegetables are good Some don't make sense to me but of course any that previously caused wind ie peas cauliflower avoid There are quite a few you canCabbage Carrots Parsnip Potato but no onions or cauliflower

Hope this helps but like all foods it's trial and error Good luck

Have a look at glutenfreecuppatea.co.uk/lo.... This will give you an idea as to the usual worst offenders. But as the previous replyer said, we are all different, and some may affect you more than others.

Thank you, I will look at that site.

[Parsnips1 in reply to Edgar77]

Yes I am already building up a list of can and cannot foods.

Has anyone experienced the sulphur smelling breath and realised that it might be chocolate?
