There's a huge amount of choice on the low FODMAP diet. Your list has 203 choices.
FODMAPs are a group of foods with natural sugars and fibres. They include onion, garlic, wheat, beans, milk and some fruits.
In a gut with Crohn's Disease or Colitis, these foods can create bloating, wind, pain or loose stools.
Tip: Although sugar is on the low FODMAP list, it isn't good for our gut. I avoid sugar when I can.
Note: Although meats are on the FODMAP list, animal fat can create gas in our gut. I cut the fat off.
Eat low FODMAP for 2 to 6 weeks. Again- low FODMAP is gentler.
Then try one food at a time, a little more each day, for 3 days.
Feel fine? Good. Keep it.
Symptoms? Stop it for now.
Wait 3 calm days before trying the next food.
Low FODMAP is gentle. High FODMAP can irritate. The 203 list shows which is which for your stage: enjoy, caution or avoid. Try to drink 1 to 1.5 litres of fluid a day. Note: not before eating. It can loosen your stools. Water, herbal teas. Not fizzy drink or caffeine.
