Bob & Mike discuss their digestive issues of the past and their experience with the FODMAP Diet. The FODMAP Diet was created by Monash University in Melbourne, Australia in the early 2000's. This style of eating has been shown to help people who suffer from IBS, SIBO, Gastroenteritis, Crohn's Disease, and other digestive issues. You can find out more about the FODMAP diet below.

I think more people suffer from this than will admit to! Thank you for this helpful video!

[wilkssan]

being active and staying away from garlic, onions, etc.
having good probotics as well helps avoid bloating hence gassy.
aging is a good topic to explore.
thank you for this session, always

Okay, I’m about 10 hours into this diet and feel better already today. Thank you

[pandy_xo]

Here's what I wanna know, how do you post videos at the exact time I need them? I'm laying in bed gassy bloated and crampy from high fodmaps last night... thank you guys for being so awesome!

[drewmadison]

Thank you guys for being so empathetic, it really means so much being able to relate with you guys on this topic. You guys mentioning the mental affects of this farting issue and recognizing how debilitating it is to live with makes me feel not so alone. I feel heard. Thank you. I needed this. This gas issue is seriously getting the best of my self esteem and it really is no way to live, like you guys say. I really hope I overcome this and I believe I will eventually 😭

[marieschmidt]

Had to post again 3 days later because this video really, really took away my anxiety and all the pain I was having from ibs and never knew why. Feel soooo much better 3 days later...and relieved.

Thank you so much for this post. I have suffered with IBS since I was very young. I have been on so many medications and supplements for my symptoms. Changing to a low fodmap diet has been very helpful. I believe there are so many people who suffer from this but have no idea that diet can make a world of difference! Thank you!!

[pegbro]

OMG I watch Bob & Brad a lot but when I came across this video I could not believe it. I have IBS and recently heard about FODMAP. Have not be following it very well, so I still have major issues with bloating & gas. Seeing you guys is just what I need! Thank you so much. I will be restarting the fodmap again and looking forward to finding out which foods really bother me and getting rid of this gas. You two are awesome!!

[yiyiskblue]

This is brilliant!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Bob is absolutely correct in saying what happened to me. My doctor diagnosed me with IBS because of omission like Bob had mentioned. I will always go onto Bob & Brad videos because they know what they are talking about. Extremely knowledge. They give us this information out of the goodness of their hearts. They are the Also so nice to listen to as well.

Been watching for years and applying your principles for quality of life. Then this one video shows up today? Thank you for taking sensitive subjects and being vulnerable to your subscribers💜

[ConfluenceNutrition]

I can see in the comments that you've brought this important information to a lot of people who weren't previously aware of it, thanks for helping people get the right info that can help their IBS symptoms!

[ryanmurphy]

I've had IBS since I was 17 years old . I'm 36 now I need to try this Fodmap, very thankful yall did this video

I was having such issues with my stomach and stumbled upon FODMAP a few years ago. Followed the diet religiously and felt immensely better within just a couple of days. Like a new person! I couldn’t believe how good I felt!

I was committed to the diet for about 6 months and lost 20 lbs without even trying. I did weigh my food in grams and I believe that contributed to the weight loss. Seems that overeating made my symptoms worse.

And, you’re so right about the stress and anxiety. These exacerbate the symptoms! Being around others and worrying if you’ll accidentally pass gas, or if your stomach is going to make weird noises is awful torture.

My stomach has been bothering me so much again, so I’m going back low FODMAP.

Lots of good info in this video 👏🏻

[sigurdsonb]

Thank you !!! Getting the word out is so important. I’m 2weeks in to the diet ...the problem with this diet for many is constipation. I feel better than I have in many years.

[sandrafoxworth]

Oh wow, thank you for sharing this!! I HAVE BEEN MISERABLE for a week. But I've been suffering from trapped gas, I look pregnant! I belch a good bit, I just pass my gas & I can't hardly sleep, eat or much of anything when it gets really bad. No One should have to live like this! 😢

[marieschmidt]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. This was so helpful and I appreciate your honest, forthcoming talk. A life changer.

[kdelka]

Bob and Brad just out there curing ALL my ailments lol. I can’t even begin to thank you guys enough.

[Grdy]

Been doing low FODMAP for over 2 years. It’s amazing and has helped me out a lot. It’s funny how in the reintroduction of high FODMAP foods, we all are different and some will work while others don’t (onion messes me up while garlic doesn’t) but I highly recommend it

[lauracheek]

Thanks for spreading the word about IBS and Low Fodmap. The Monash University website is invaluable. Using this diet has changed my life. I had so much bloat and pain I ended up in the hospital with a nasogastric tube and a blood clot in my vena cava from all the pressure on it. Doing better, thank goodness!

[thfield]

My daughter tried low-FODMAP diet and in ONE DAY she felt better! There are plenty of websites with recipes to make these meals. Not overly complex but does take some adjustment to avoiding onion, garlic, gluten, and lactose.
