So I’m on the reintroduction part of the low FODMAP diet.. I have not had a symptom from anything yet and I’ve had garlic, onion, avocado, bread, pasta, mangos etc (well a little soreness from the bread)

I’m away on holiday to a few countries in Europe soon.. will it set me back if I go a little crazy and have some potentially upsetting foods.

I’m going to places I’ve never been before and would love to eat a bit more normally considering it’s very difficult abroad to go out for dinner and order low FODMAP foods.

I don’t want to ruin the holiday for my bf by not going out to eat anywhere :/

(We don’t go out for food anymore as it’s so difficult to be in a restaurant where soemtbjng isn’t pre marinated in garlic or onion)

So today is the dreaded day.

I start the reintroduction phase of my low FODMAP diet with my first item being onions…

I haven’t ate onions in 2 years due to the insane pain I would get from eating them so safe to say I am very nervous on how this will go

Does anyone have any tips and tricks?

I’m also UK based

I’m on the low FODMAP diet.

On Monday I had a “low FODMAP chocolate sponge pudding” all safe ingredients, ate a safe portion and lo and behold I had the worst ibs flare up I’ve had since staring the low FODMAP diet.

Now Tuesday I did not eat too plain but still kept to the usual low FODMAP diet.

Today Wednesday is my first official day eating extremely plain (oats with water, eggs, rice cakes, potatoes)

I travel to a festival on Friday with the even being on Saturday… what are the chances I’ll actually be fine.

Last time a flare up like this took me two weeks to recover 😭

My stomach is gurgling like crazy, I have bowel movements either multiple times in an hour or nothing for hours.

Any tips and tricks to help me feel better by Friday ?

So in a few weeks I’ll be starting the reintroduction phase (on the elimination phase for around 9 weeks)

The very first challenge as by the book is re introduction of onions. Now I’ve not had an onion in 2 years as the flare ups I got with them sent me into unmovable pain for hours at a time..

My dietician said “it’s fine just try” I know it could somehow have changed and I’ll be fine but I’m also so scared as with onions it can get so bad I need to take time off work.

Can I just skip and never eat them again?

So I’m currently in the elimination phase and as much as my stomach pain has settled I’m getting horrible acid reflux..

A high amount of low FODMAP fruits and vegetables/ food in general I do not eat as it causes me bad acid reflux… I kind of have no choice right now but it’s a bit difficult constantly having to drink Gaviscon

Anyone experience something similar ?

(TMI sorry)

I’m in the elimination phase currently and 12 days in with just under a month to go.

For the first maybe 8 days going to the toilet was such a struggle and I’d maybe go once or once every two days then it regulated to daily.. now with someone who has ibs that was wild as I’m used to going to the bathroom 15+ times a day.

Today was the first time I’ve been to the bathroom twice in an hour and my stomach has been ever so slightly sore.

Is this normal? My dietician didn’t explain anything to me so I’ve been thrown in the deep end with a few leaflets and the monash app

I’ve also been eating the same things every day pretty much and there hasn’t been a sudden increase in fibre it’s stayed the same the whole time

I just started the low FODMAP diet yesterday and I understand it’ll take a few days before I adjust to it but I don’t think my dietician explained it all well to me.

She told me to download the monash app and use that for guidance etc and to make sure to stick to the recommended portion sizing and do breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack.

I did and in a whole day had 1000 calories.. I’m a 24 year old female

I get I could’ve added more different foods but it’s been so difficult figuring out what I can actually have and with a previous ed I’m nervous this is going to send me down a slippery slope.

Any helpful tips for doing this correct? Also being made to get out a scale and weigh everything I eat is not the most fun.

I went on vacation two weeks ago just came back about five days ago, and since I’ve been back I have been in pain every single day from the minute I wake up to when I go to sleep.

I’m also due my period soon and always close to period times my stomach has hurt a lot more but I cannot deal with this as constant. I’m barely sleeping.

I manage to eat and drink okay but it’s like every time I eat something my stomach hurts I go to the bathroom it’s unbearable and no matter what, and it’s been five days non-stop of some of the worst pain I’ve ever felt.

I don’t know what to do anymore

I’ve been taking a 10mg dose daily for 3 weeks now and it’s insane how much it has helped me, I barely get any pain now and when I do it’s not bad at all.

My biggest issue is I have gained 5kg in 3 weeks and to top it off I’m going on holiday in 7 days. What do I do?

As silly as it sounds it’s had a massive effect on me and I wish I could cancel this vacation
