Just a quick post today, a small update until I have a little more time to show you what I’ve been working on.
At almost two weeks into following low FODMAP guidelines I am feeling…somewhat better. I have had a couple of bouts of cramps but nothing incapacitating and overall I am just feeling like I’m turning a corner into something better.
It has been a hard slog at times, particularly when I’ve not been at home at meal times. I also feel very restricted at times and my inner rebel just wants to eat the onion in any meal. I am staying strong though!
This weekend I have my next breath test, so I’m hoping ok to find out once and for all whether I have fructose malabsorption or not.
I have been doing a lot of reading/research on IBS and FODMAPs, which has helped me to feel in control and positive. Food has been simple due to my time constraints but I look forward to trialling and sharing some recipes that I’ve been working on.
I’d love to hear how you’ve coped with a change to low FODMAP eating in the first few weeks, or how you coped with fructose issues so leave a comment below!

I am about to start the FODMAP diet after suffering from IBS for 8 years. I’m going to try and stay positive about it and hope that it helps! Good luck.

Thank you, and thanks for your comment. Bring positive makes any transition easier, along with organisation. Hope you find some relief.
