The low FODMAP diet should only be undertaken under the supervision of a registered dietitian. The elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet is extremely restrictive and should only be implemented for a limited period of time as part of a monitored treatment programme for medically diagnosed gut conditions. Due to the restrictive nature of the diet, it is not recommended for people with a history of disordered eating. Please talk to a professional if you have any concerns regarding the suitability of the low FODMAP diet for your individual circumstances.

Can you be vegan if you suffer with IBS? Let's talk about it...

[TeleBoltGirl]

Wow 👏 this video should definitely have more views. Wise words :)
An hug from a fellow :)

[wonov]

Another wonderful installment! Thank you for your refreshing honesty.

[katepaterson]

Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for putting this video out there. As I have been watching all of these influencers come out with these videos, I have been thinking so many of your same thoughts. As a fellow IBS sufferer, I have also been dealing with these issues for as long as I can remember. Long before I went vegan and if anything going vegan actually helped me realize that my symptoms were not normal. I am so thankful for the low fodmap diet and for how much I am learning to listen to and take care of my body. And I am vegan for the animals and for the earth. And it’s great that it is good for my body as well!

I was nervous when I started watching but agree with everything you said. I am currently having stomach issues (possibly related to hormones) but I would never think of going back to eating meat. There is always another way. You don't have to kill animals to be healthy. ❤️

[Alice_Upward_Flamingo]

Your face in the beginning :D Exactly how I feel (and probably look) every time I come across one of the bs-headlines you mention. Thank you for this video, it is much needed - and much appreciated. Also: Tits & wine??? Romance never dies indeed! Alice (Aliciouslog) xx

I went to plant based and developed stomach issues ibs symptoms I never use to have to poop so many times a day until I started eating plants and alkaline foods ...

I put off watching this for nearly a week because I knew it would make me feel terrible about myself. I have had tummy issues all my life so I know that meat isn't a cure or anything like that. I eat vegan aside from two or three meals per week. I started out intending to keep being vegan while doing low fodmap. However, I quickly discovered that I can't eat potatoes or any other nightshades. I tried to do it but I began to recognize disordered thoughts about food eg, "oh I guess I'll just eat nothing", fear of food, wanting to track everything super accurately. Plus I couldn't get the calories I needed because I was in the elimination phase sticking to all the portion sizes so I was quickly losing weight. I also found that adding extra fat or too many nuts or seeds to meals caused problems too. So the only calorie-dense low fodmap things I could think of were meat and eggs. I don't like it, but it is purely a calorie / mental health decision. I hope to eventually learn my tolerances so well that I can return to veganism, but without the almighty spud and tomato, it's very hard.
