Has anyone tried the FODMAP diet? If so, how effective was it?

Try the Ulcerative Colitis forum or the search engine at the top of this page. Lots of diets and lots of folks trying food as medicine with varying results.

I was just given this diet to try and help with my symptoms. I purchased the book from Sue Shepard-that's where I was told to start. I would love to talk more to you though!

Hello,
I found the low-FODMAP diet very helpful in managing my IBS symptoms, in conjunction with avoiding spicy and fatty food, as well as stress relief/management techniques.

I trialed each FODMAP separately to determine which ones I needed to minimise in my diet. In my case, it was lactose, fructose, fructans and galactans, but not polyols.

In my case, I believe the FODMAP food intolerances were caused by untreated Celiac. Now that I've been gluten free for several months, I find I'm much better able to tolerate lactose and fructose. I haven't really trialled fructans and galactans again yet... Lots of things that contain fructans also contain gluten, and I'm not too keen on lentils...

I find that interesting Jasmine-I too, have celiac so it's awesome that someone else has gone through this. So as of now, you don't eat any of the FODMAPS except for polyol?

As of now, I have small amounts of lactose and fructose, and I don't eat any fructans or galactans, and I am unlimited in my polyol intake. But before I was gluten free for several months, I was also completely free of lactose and fructose.
