This question follows up on a previous discussion I had on the forum. What often comes up is that the Low FODMAP diet can lead to deficiencies in certain nutrients over the long term and can be dangerous.

However, in my own experience, I’ve found that a very strict diet with very few foods and no fodmap at all has far more beneficial effects than trial and error in trying to keep as many foods as possible.

So I’m wondering: is there really any scientific evidence regarding the potential dangers of a very strict low-FODMAP diet over several weeks, or even two months?

When I did a Google Scholar search for scientific studies on the health of populations with very low dietary diversity, I was surprised to find that there are many cases where such restrictions don’t seem to pose a problem. Look at Inuits, they do not heat garlic or beans...

I think we’re stuck in a mindset and significantly underestimating the body’s and gut microbiota’s ability to adapt and produce the missing nutrients. Obviously, I’m not talking about eating nothing but rice for two months, which is known to cause vitamin B1 deficiency, especially if the rice is refined (but reversible).

Has anyone here done any research on this topic and have proof of long term low or no fodmap diet ?

Has anyone with ulcerative colitis found low-FODMAP helpful but hard to stick to? I’ve been dealing with digestive symptoms and I’m trying to understand how people with UC have approached low-FODMAP. The conflicting advice and day-to-day restrictions can feel overwhelming. If you’ve tried it, what was the hardest part of making it work in real life?

I have IBS too... and I’ve noticed an improvement when I follow low-FODMAP closely. But making it work in real life is difficult. What has been the hardest part for you?

And how did you manage to stick to it without having to constantly check every single food item, which is really exhausting over time?

Does anyone else feel lost trying to change their diet for digestive issues?

There is so much conflicting advice that I sometimes feel like I’m in a jungle. What helps you the most? cut everything for a moment?

And even when I think I feel better, it can be hard to tell whether it is real progress or just a good day...

Have symptom-tracking apps helped you spot useful patterns, or have they mostly added more noise?

Sometimes I need to transfer my EUR in Europe to my bank in Panama.

If I convert EUR to USD and transfer with Wise, my bank in Panama (Banistmo) charge me around 40$ for each transaction.

Any solution to transfert for free ?

I saw that post about using Wallbit app, but options are : send to US ou Third Party account (only Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, no Panama).

Someone have succes with this app?

Has anyone ever used direct intraosseous antibiotic injection into a chronic periapical lesion?

I found the 2005 paper by Lačević et al. describing intraosseous clindamycin injection into a chronic apical lesion, with an apparently successful outcome.

My question is for endodontists or oral surgeons:

Have you ever performed this technique?

Have you seen colleagues using it?

If not, why did it never become common practice?

Was it abandoned because of poor clinical results, lack of evidence, safety concerns, or simply because conventional apical surgery provides similar outcomes?

I'm looking for real clinical experience rather than general opinions. Any published cases beyond the original paper would also be greatly appreciated.
