IBS and the FODMAP diet

[gofish]

My tummy issues have been getting worse so I finally went to yet another GI doctor.

I finally for one who took the time to talk to me.

We tried some meds that I didn't like and he told me to try the FODMAP diet for 6 weeks and then start to add foods back and see what I react to.

It is helping so I thought I would share the diet with you.

I have found I can't have onions and garlic. Onion and garlic are particularly bad triggers and should be avoided as best as you can.

Amazing what good data can do for some of these issues. Glad you've got a good doc to lead the way.

Good to find a doc that actually works with you rather than just throwing pills your way. Thanks for posting the diet info; I suspect roommate has IBS (and I'm the cook) so now I can try tweaking the menus a bit
