r/FODMAPS

I have a 100% intolerance to all the -ol sugar free sweeteners. I also love a little fancy coffee on the regular and I'm watching my sugar intake.

Has anyone found a safe sugar free brand that isn't straight up deadly on a sensitive tummy?

Does anyone have recommendations for gluten-free, low-FODMAP cereals? The Monash app lists several Kellogg's brands, but they all have barley malt extract as an ingredient and it's unclear whether or not this is really low FODMAP. For most people the trace quantities present in the cereal don't seem to be an issue, but there are posts on Reddit where people seem to get triggered by even a smidge. I guess the only way to find out is to try for myself -- unless someone has 'cleaner' suggestions?

Weren't medjool dates previously on the bad list by Monash? I was recently craving fruit since I rarely get any now bc I struggle with foodmaps. To my surprise medjool dates were in the ok list (based on serving size). I had 2 a few weeks ago and it triggered a major event for days. Then an.hour ago I had 1. Just 1 dried, pitted medjool date and within minutes I could feel it draining my energy/fatiguing me and I can feel my bowels preparing for what's to come tomorrow. I expect I will bleed. Am I crazy, or were these previously red on the Monash app? If so, how are they OK now but I'm still having the same issues from even just a single date? Are others this sensitive to them?

Guys is it only me ? so basically my stomach makes weird Buble poping noises and sometimes from my hip like it's internal pop sound it's not fart tho its internal and whenever I sit in class it's makes Internal poping noises I literally get embarrassed of it I tried to changed my diet but it doesn't stop can Anyone tell me what to do😭

so I've been working on gym habits and decided to progress that with protein power.
I bough a 1kg bucket of plant based and thought nothing of it....
Not only did it give me an immediate hayfever reaction (apparently pea power protein structure is very similar to pollen structure) but omg has it made a mess of my guts.

a week later and I'm still a mess. I've never had such a horrid reaction.

so learn from my mistakes. avoid pea powder plant based protein powders.

I've eaten predominantly GF for the last few years. Not Celiac, but high intolerance to wheat. I have been on elimination for almost two weeks. Dr. suspects IBS but now we are looking at IBD because of those wonderful nocturnal bathroom trips that recently began, weight loss in last 4-5 months that I can't account for and since beginning elimination my issues have continued, if not gotten worse. I'm looking for some GF Low FODMAP bread or recipes that I could try. I found a few through the FIG app. Unfortunately, nobody carries them around me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i have a relatively recent diagnosis of PI-IBS (2025 was quite a year of infections for me). I did the low fodmap and my symptoms improved. I have now been able to add back some things (yay for lactose not being a problem!). But twice now I have had it happen that I ate something unusual and had cramps/diarrhea right after - like maybe an hour later. I thought a trigger food would take longer? How fast can a trigger food trigger symptoms?

I miss the garlic breads sooo extremely much, I used to eat them all the time before I got diagnosed with IBS. However, I can’t tolerate wheat and onions (including garlic) that well, even just small amounts of onion powder can make it all hurt.

Is it all over for garlic bread or is there low FODMAP alternatives to garlic bread? Or something else maybe?

Hello everyone! I'm looking for a vegan protein powder that has decent protein content 70-80g/100g and is available in Europe. Specifically Czechia. I'm currently trying out the certified low foodmap Amazonia one, but I think it's causing bloating. It uses stevia, I've tried their normal one which I tolerated better and their slim and tone, which is worse. Preferably a flavored one, but if you have an unflavored protein powder that you like, that's alright too.

Happy about any recommendations! I'm quite desperate since either items are very low protein, or just unavailable.

I'm lactose intolerant and suspect a casein allergy, though I haven't been tested for that, that's why I'm leaning towards vegan protein powder.

Thank you so much!

Just checking, I need a simple carb source I can scale up to relatively high amounts for the purpose of gaining weight for my sport without creating a swamp in a pants.

Thank you

I lovee sweet things and am really struggling to find non savoury things to snack on or even desserts. I am also intolerant to fructose and sorbitol.
Really would like to find some good lollies and quick things to snack on like lunchbox snacks. I don’t like the taste of gluten free things (flour based) which sucks because I really love cake and biscuits :(
I’m fine with gluten free lollies though. I can handle a small amount of lactose but would prefer to find snacks that are lactose free

Living in Australia in a relatively small city (Townsville) so not against ordering snacks online

Any recommendations?

There’s a lot of discussion around the “best” supplements online, but I’m honestly just as interested in the opposite question.

What supplement did you take consistently that ended up:

• doing nothing
• being overhyped
• causing side effects
• not matching the marketing claims
• or simply not being worth the money

Could be:

• probiotics
• collagen
• fat burners
• testosterone boosters
• nootropics
• multivitamins
• greens powders
• anything else

Would be interesting to hear:

• what you expected
• what actually happened
• and whether lifestyle habits ended up mattering more overall.

I’ve lost a lot of weight during elimination and reintroduction phases. Already underweight 😑, my dietician recommended adding protein powder. I’ve looked at dozens of low FODMAP protein powders but so far all have Monk fruit which tastes terrible to me, or Stevia which upsets my stomach. Are there any that are truly unsweetened? It looks like Naked Rice doesn’t add either of those but is there a downside to it, like does it taste bad? Looks like the company recommends adding to smoothies. Is there other ways to add it besides smoothies?? Help! So confused by all the marketing of protein powders! 😮‍💨

5 years. FIVE YEARS of doctors telling me "its just stress" "try yoga" "cut out caffeine"

meanwhile im bloated like im 9 months pregnant, running to the bathroom after every meal, and in constant pain.

finally found a doc who actually listened. did the breath test. positive for SIBO + fructose malabsorption.

5 years of suffering because no one took me seriously.

if you think something is wrong KEEP PUSHING. the medical system failed me for years. you know your body better than anyone.

I am feeling hopeless. I have had alternating loose-ish chunky pale ish diarrea for years now. Sometimes it gets stuck behind a poop wall of constipation and then eventually all comes out. This happens mostly if I eat a lot of fat or sodium. Especially saturated fats arw a trigger. I have pooped an average 5-6 times a day every day for 3 years. Every day starts with 3 hours of pooping. And then theres also poops throughout the day. Often pure mucus poops. Every doctor has told me ibs. Finally had a doctor take me more seriously, refer me to a gastroenterologist, and then the gastroenterologist told me ibs and "see a dietitian". All on the basis my calprotectin and crp was low. As if I havent tried. Low fodmap did nothing. I dont get that much bloating anymore, or maybe I am just used to it. I dont know. I do get nausea and stomach pain after every meal. I have immense brain fog. This is literally ruining my life. I am a university student and this all started after starting university and it has affected my studies immensely. I literally dont know what to do. I am 22 and this is ruining my life. I miss so much class because I have to goddamn stay home to poop. If anyone has advice please give it. I live in Australia.

I literally dont know what to do. Have wasted so much money on this too now.

how do i stop fodmap from charging me? i downloaded the app a week ago, nowhere it said it was money involved. now they charged me and i dont even have profile with them. how to make it stop?

hi everybody, I’m wondering if you had the answers to some questions I have.

my team has been having a lot of stomach pain and she got an endoscopy that came up totally clear. No reactions to any sugars, no lactose intolerance, no celiac.

after that, because of course thr stomach pain remained, we tried fodmap and finally got some relief!

we have cut out wheat (except aourdough) and lactose. those are the main triggers.

so the questions are:

is a fodmap reaction to lactose different from the reaction they are testing for when they do an endoscopy and test for lactose intolerance? its confusing that she tested negative for lactose intolerance but is reacting to lactose.

also- even though most of the cheeses we eat at our house are considered low fodmap, my kid said she still has some troubles with them. if fodmap lactose sensitivity is seperate from lactose intolerance then I wouldn’t expect her to be sensitive to cheddar cheese. and if she is sensitive to them then wouldn't that point to lactose intolerance of the traditional sort- thr kind she was tested dor during her endoscopy?

Hello all, I have been craving ice cream because it's really hot here. Before I was eating Jolly llama treats, but have to go back on low FODMAP diet. I thought I read that they were not low FODMAP friendly. I can't have oat milk or coconut milk. Any suggestions for ice cream like desserts or ice cream stuff, that's not made with milk or wheat? I I'm also gluten free for other health reasons
