FODMAPS. Finally Help achieved with diet. PART I

Kinda awesome how people come out from the wood works looking for this diet.
I printed out the PDF file and read it while on the toliet, I figured that would that would be the approiate time to read it. I'm definitely going to make a transitation to get these foods now.

Jjay,

I just registered as a new member because I wish to have the Fodmap diet sent to me. My wife has had a few GI problems over the years such as Fibromyalgia and IBS and last year she had her Gall Bladder removed because of stones. Ever since then, she has had numerous problems with the bloating, gas, diarrhea and weight loss. She has had numerous tests and just yesterday her doctor gave her some info on the Fodmap diet. But like many have said most of the info I can find doesn't give the foods that she can eat as substitutes. If you can email me the diet I would be eternally grateful. Thanks.

Hi Jay,
is bran ok to eat if following the FODMAPs diet? eg wheat bran
is wheat bran a fructan. I mix wheat bran into yoghurt and other foods to increase fibre intake. I know that wheat in breads, cereals, pasta etc contain fructans,
however I'm not sure about wheat bran

thanks

Hello all,
It looks like this thread is becoming one of the most useful sources for fodmaps information that there is, or at least that I can find. I was introduced to a fodmap diet by a dietician about two years ago but was unable to find any further help or information, but I am looking at trying it again. If someone could send me the information that is going around I would be very grateful - I believe my email should show on my profile.

I would also like to ask, incase it isn't addressed, if anyone has any idea about whether psyllium-based fiber supplements work with a fodmaps diet. I can't seem to find any advice on this anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give, it is much appreciated.

Hi Joan,

My name is Dorian and I just sent you an email.... I really look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks soooo much,

Dorian

Hi Joan, Just wondering if you could also email this diet to me?

Thanks, Marcia.

Hi Marcia and Kjrjab,

I have email the FODMAP diet to you. Please make sure to post back if you have success with the diet.

Regards
Joan

Thank you so much Joan - we are really going to give this a go and will keep everyone posted.  Unfortunately, living in the UAE - we have difficulty finding gluten free / wheat free breads and pasta products.  Will soldier on!

Hi Mike,

I replied to your email you sent to my hotmail address but it bounced back.  So I have posted my reply here and hope  that you get to read it  If you can write to me again at my hotmail address, and send me  the email address in the body of the email,  I would be very happy to send you the file.

  

Hi Mike,
 
I have attached the diet for your wife.  I guess you are asking a very complex question.
 
I have had UC for 15 years now.  From when I was first diagnosed my diet has improved dramatically.  I know I will never be 100% but I can settle for 95%.
 
The very first thing your wife should be doing is keeping a food diary.  In the food diary, she should note every little thing she puts into her mouth, including medication, drinks, herbs, spices etc.  Absoutely everything.  She will start to notice a pattern happening if she does this.  She will be able to identify foods that are upsetting her. 
 
I guess it depends on how bad her condition is.  If her condition is very bad, she may not even know where to start as she might be blaming all foods. (I have done this too).  I cannot tolerate any form of gluten. 

If this is the case, I recommend that she try to contact the dietician at the bottom of the attachment and make an appointment to have a consultation with her.  At the time the consultation cost me about $80AU for an hours appointment.  The best $80 I have ever spent for my health.  Please read all my posts starting from the first post and you will find links to information that may help.

Regards

Joan

Can someone email it to me as well. It looks very interesting. I can see working this into my daily life, my only problem/question would be eating out? I imagine that is quite a challenge!

May I have the diet too please? [email protected]

Thank you!
