The FODMAP Diet

Understanding a FODMAPS Diet

[felix-]

I have been doing a version of the Fodmap for IBS and multiple intolerances:
-no cruciferous veggies(intolerance)
-No breads or gluten(intolerance)
-no eggs(intolerance)
-No dairy (intolerance)
-no added sugar or high sugar items
-no fried foods
-no beans
-no carbonated stuff(makes me gassy)
Etc
It has helped a LOT. I get a lot of gas pains and EXCESSIVE embarrassingly stinky gas if I don't cut these foods out (think farting 50+ times a day). I am not afraid to admit it at this point.
I eat:
-rice, quinoa, millet, corn meal, oatmeal
-spinach, squash, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, a bit of kale, tomatoes, bell peppers, a bit of garlic here and there, lettuce, pickles, olives
-meat, poultry, fish and occasionally tofu which I use as a ricotta substitute
-non-dairy cheeses
-bannanas, strawberries, blackberries, plantains, raspberries, cranberries, cantelope, grapefruit
-sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds and sesame seeds
-small amounts of coffee, tea, flavored water, diet juices and so on

Wow this video is BY FAR the easiest to understand and the best short explanation of what FODMAPS are. I really appreciate this.

When my IBS was at its absolutely worst, to the point where I felt that I couldn't enjoy eating at all anymore because I was always afraid of what it would do to me, I went on this diet strictly and it healed my gut. I didn't have to stay on it forever. I now know that, the more I can avoid these foods, the better I feel. If I am going to indulge in one of them, I am able to choose when and where so I am prepared for the consequences. Some of you see this information as oppressive but I see it as empowering because, when I found out about FODMAPS, I was finally able to eat without pain and control how I felt.

The more sugar i cut the better I feel.

The easiest simplest description of the diet I've seen!!!!

[letmesing]

Just one day with no bread and I felt a difference

[HeartzHugzKissez]

Cheese/dairy has been the primary culprit for my IBS flare-ups. But i'm going to try this diet anyway just long enough to build up my digestive health.

This video was so helpful to understand what Fodmaps are in a simple way. Thank you!

[corinnejohnson]

I don’t regret doing the fodmap diet but man it took a toll on my mental state since I’m in college and the food there isnt low fodmap friendly

[Hums]

Very informative. I was told I have IBS and I’m on a low FODMAP diet myself and I’m testing every food...

[TinoForever]

Everything made sense after I watched this video. Those are exactly the foods I have problems with.
