When you got to number 7, I actually broke down and cried. It came from no where, I didn’t even realize how overwhelmed I was. Thank you for your warm words of encouragement.
It's just like for my son's high salt is important for them. Yes I get to eat as much salt as they want. And we have had so many people say that's so unhealthy. And I returned with the doctors told him to eat lots of salt.
Just got diagnosed a few days ago, I have been struggling with these symptoms for the past 4 years, I am so glad I am not alone in this. Thank you for this video, love from South Africa!
I have Crohn's and I am going through the fodmap process now. I love how you said come up with one phrase for other people. People like to socialize around food, there have been many times I don't eat but I know others are uncomfortable.
Hi IBS has controlled my life for 49 yrs and I finally went to a dietician who listened to me . I’m 61 yrs old male. She showed me the diet as eveyone else was totally overwhelmed with so many choices which is not good for me. I downloaded the diet but she patiently went over it and turned me on to the Fody website. I’m practical and love convenience. So she actually sent me full week menu earlier just for me to help me get started.
I would accept it to my son so I just say he spends way too much time in the bathroom. But if he's around then he goes into detail until they try to get him to stop
Was just diagnosed with IBS a week ago, found this video, and it's so helpful! Low-FODMAP seemed very overwhelming and still does a bit right now, so thanks for posting this video! :)
So glad I happened along this channel. I am not diagnosed yet but no doubt this is SIBO. I had been dealing with silent reflux and finally was getting a grip on low acid diet then got shingles and i think antiviral medication got me here along with low acid in my gut. I am surviving on potato and zuchinni. It has been difficult with without plant based guidance. Thanks for posting. I am hopeful. -j
My addition to the label reading tip: Read the label every time you pick out a food. The manufacturers can and will change the ingredients with no announcement. My experience was with a cranberry oatmeal snack bar that was made with cane sugar the first time I bought it. Then one day I ate one that made me sick. I found the box for that purchase and discovered that the manufacturer swapped out the cane sugar for agave syrup that doesn’t agree with me. I’ve been dealing with IBS for 20+ years. It’s always good to review tips. Thanks for your list of 12.
My short explanation phrase is "Low Fodmap is an exclusion diet where you exclude all sensitivity foods like dairy/gluten/corn syrup at once". People understand immediately that it is difficult.
I honestly feel like I have IBS, and I haven't been diagnosed, just got referred by the GI to pelvic floor therapy which was too expensive after a while, and advised to take Metamucil. I got a blood test which didn't reveal anything and they didn't know or really test anything else like my stools, so they said I could have IBS but there was no diagnosis. I'm trying one of my first Low FODMAP recipes and this is the first time I actually enjoyed my dinner without being in pain or bloating or constipation and diarrhea together. It's pretty hard since my family only eats my trigger foods and my dad makes fun of me for eating veggies instead of meat and pasta like a normal Italian (surprisingly i can stomach garlic but not pasta or tomato sauce). I just feel so happy i made and ate something with no problems! This video was really helpful, thank you!
I don’t really cook so starting low Fodmaps has been really hard. It’s been a 1.5 year nightmare for me so far. I’m always in pain, don’t get out of bed a lot, not working much did you it, and always worried about my finances and health. I lost 30 lbs due to Gastritis, SIBO, and low pancreatic enzymes. Also, severe constipation. I didn’t expect my life to turn out this way. I’m trying to take steps to feel better but one wrong food and I’m in extreme distress. My anxiety doesn’t help either and def fuels all of this. I’m glad to find your channel and can’t wait to explore more.
Lol, I was in that phase where I was feeling good and got cocky and ate a dinner FULL of garlic and had a glass of wine. Now I feel terrible and I can't sleep so I'm here watching your videos. I haven't been officially diagnosed but it definitely feels like I could have IBS. It's only been two months of having major gut issues and it seriously sucks so I am not feeling optimistic about living with it potentially for the rest of my life (not even sure if this is how IBS works - need to do more research). It's nice hearing from others so I feel less alone. Read some comments where people say they have dealt with this issue for years and I just have to say wowza you guys are strong and inspirational!
Heres the list she gave: 1. Gather and try recipes 2. Start a food & Symptoms Diary 3. Go in with an open mind 4. Let go of the desire to eat out 5. Have a quick explanation ready 6. Get help from a medical professional 7. Don't worry, it gets easier 8. Stock up on tupperware 9. Stock up on lowFodmap store cupboard food 10. Check labels 11. Start lowfodmap stashes
I’m in so much pain from a flare up - thank you for this. I really need to try this. I’ve been diagnosed 2 weeks ago after suffering with this for the last 3 years. I keep getting flare ups every 3/4 weeks. Wish me luck!
I know this video was posted a year ago, but thank you! I’m starting a LowFod Map diet in a week or so, and I am terrified. It means a lot to have calming resources like yours
I got diagnosed with SIBO. Now I take herbal antibiotics and I'm giving the FODMAP diet a shot. But in addition to that I am also not allowed to eat nuts, tomatoes and pineapple (since I am allergic to those). So atm I am Vegan, Glutenfree, Low-FODMAP, No nuts, No tomatoes, No Pineapples and low sugar... I don't even know what to eat anymore lol
Ah man, yeah that doesn't leave much! You're going to need a very creative dietician to help you 🙈 There are slower but less restrictive protocols for seeing which FODMAPs are your triggers so they will probably opt for that xx
Thank you! I have just been diagnosed with IBS and have been trying this low FODMAT diet for a week now. While some of the harshest symptoms have been alleviated a good bit, I am a long way from feeling well and normal. I spend most of my time exhausted on the laz-e-boy arm chair. Being a bachelor has made this especially hard as I have had to work this all out myself while I've been flat out sick. I've been getting disheartened, honestly, and this presentation has helped me galvinize my focus and determination onto getting on top of this. Yours is the first audiovisual presentation I have seen on this subject, and it helps a whole lot! Aside from the actual practical tips, just seeing a healthy looking, intelligent young woman talk about this helps in normalizing it. Thank you! P.S. I have been thinking of pretty well starving myself just to feel normal. The massively restrictive diet I am already on (Though I am only recently diagnosed, I have been cutting things like caffeine, sugar, meat, alcohol and also quitting smoking for over 6 months) has not yet gotten me feeling ok enough to function. Will pretty much starving work, if for only a day or three?
So glad my video has helped motivate you... Its just a restrictive diet! Especially when, like you said, you feel unwell. I'd encourage you to find some lo-fodmap recipes you enjoy (lots on my website/channel) and avoid starving yourself. If you are feeling some improvement already that's really really promising!! It should continue to improve 🤞xx
I’m now starting this and your video has helped me feel less afraid. I’m not vegan but I am celiac so I know how exactly how hard it is to navigate at this initial stage. Thanks.
Thank you SO much for all of your videos. I’m a new vegan diagnosed with ibs and my doctor told me today to start the Fodmap diet. I was feeling so discouraged and down but after finding your videos I feel so prepared! 💪
I'm so glad I could help! It sounds like your dr could have been a bit more helpful but at least they've sent you in the right direction ☺️ Let me know if you ever have any questions and if you're on facebook come join the private group because everyone's so helpful on there! xx
came to this video after damn near killing myself with veggies :-P I added Shallots, Asparagus, cauliflower, and Brussel sprouts to my nightly fresh mix which already included shallots and copious amounts of Garlic. I had already suspected garlic was an issue but had no idea about the others. I was diagnosed with IBS years ago but never informed that there was a diet involved. The results of eating the above mix were not only stomach pains but a severe skin break out all over my body. In just a few days of following the fodmap protocol, my skin is nearly fully cleared up, and I haven't experienced any brain fog or stomach pain. Sure wish I knew about this stuff 30 years ago. Thanks for the info! SUBSCRIBED!
I’m not a vegan but this was really helpful and you are very watchable. I’m a coeliac and I’m just going trying to prepare myself for a FODMAP diet, so I can hopefully pin point what makes me ill. I’m just so fed up with feeling poorly!
Thank you so much for this helpful and informative video!! I have horrible bloating and have been thinking about eating low FODMAP for a while but have been a little intimidated! So happy to have discovered you
Glad I could help. My IBS got way worse after going vegan (so much garlicy hummus! 🤦♀️ If you haven't it would be worth seeing a Dr first, but it wouldn't hurt to try a few lowFODMAP days to see if you feel any difference. I subbed your channel btw, really nicely put together videos 👌 x
I have ibs, and I am sick and not feeling well EVERYDAY. I’m so fed up with feeling bad and not being able to do most things. So I am trying to switch over to this new diet! It’s much harder to because I have about 6-10 food allergies, and pollen food allergy syndrome. So that makes the diet more limited. But I feel motivated to do it now.
I love your channel!!! You' ve give me hope. I 'm struggling with IBS for about 3 mounths and now i've decided that i want to be stronger than this health issue. Thank you!
You're so right! When I started the fodmap journey I was thinking that every single fodmap food was bad for me, so I eliminated them all and I felt absolutely like crap😞 we have to test everything on ourselves first
So true! And even though it’s restrictive at the beginning you end up with wayyy more foods you can confidently eat rather than cautiously guessing it’s all bad. I’m also learning to appreciate for me it’s not just a single meal but what I eat over several days adding up. How was your Christmas btw? ☺️ x
Carrie Gill Quite good thanks😊 I made gnocchi with potatoes and buckwheat flour and received a lot of useful gifts, I feel grateful for this Christmas😃 How went yours? 😊
Thankyou for these tips. I can so relate. Yes feeling overwhelmed ATM with choices, eating out, feeling left out etc, etc. as a newbie. Great tips. I’m following the fodmap Monash Uni app which is helping with choices. Red is Stop and Green for Go! I will do a diary
This is really calming thank you! I have an appointment with a dietician/nutritionist to get started with this in a couple of days and I was freaking out, but this helped a lot!
Thank you for these things to do before we start. I am getting ready to start the diet for my 12 year old son. Doctor's orders. We will be doing it for myself and my older son also since we have a lot of digestive issues as well. It is very overwhelming at this point so your ideas are very helpful. Thank you
Thank you. We will definitely need it. We are not used to eating very healthy overall. Lots of processed food so it will be an adventure. I appreciate it the suggestions of some specific things that make it easier like the onion or garlic infused oil. My added difficulty is that we live in an RV so I'm limited on Space to store things. Was Covetous over though we will just go to the store a little more often to get all the fresh things we need.
If you can have 1/3 banana and strawberries then you could make a small banana/strawberry smoothie, and keep the extra 2/3 banana in the freezer. First I freeze the bananas in 1/3 chunks, and I think frozen strawberries taste better than fresh strawberries. I usually add coconut milk, but any milk will do. I also add a tiny bit of vanilla. Also you could make banana bread with a whole banana, and then only eat 1/3 of the loaf. It goes really good with almond butter.
Geez you are so beautiful!! You can tell the diet keeps your skin glowing and those eyes as bright as can be!! The accent is just the icing on the cake!!
I think tips about anything based on accounts of wrong choices made by similar people are very valuable in all kinds of life experiences not just IBS. Good tips here. Thank you very much!
Thank you! Have a vegetarian guest who is on FODMAP (is that the right expression?) coming for a week in September-bit worried I won’t feed him properly. Feel a bit more confident now 👍
You have beautiful blue eyes, btw. I am trying to stay vegan since Dec 1. I have made almost 30 new recipes since then and my husband and I have spent most of the month in the bathroom. He really can’t have that at his job! We only have about 5 we we liked well enough to repeat. I have been reading cookbooks nonstop. I can’t wait to get the one you recommended!
So greatful to have found you! 😍 I have crohns disease which is a form of IBD and when I'm not having a flare up I suffer with IBS 😣 I went vegan to see if that would make my symptoms any better but like you I still felt like poop (😂). J just wanted to Thank you for these videos and I can't wait to keep binging on them over the next few days 😊 Also I hope you are feeling much better! 💚
Thank you, glad you found them! I hope you find them helpful 😘 And I do feel so much better these days, I was just thinking how my "normal" is actually symptom-free, which really wasn't the case before 😳 xx Btw, you're very welcome to join the private facebook group, everyone shares such useful advice and support in there ☺️ (facebook.com/groups/1649597611746021/)
Carrie Gill Oh Thank you for letting me know I'm not on Facebook at the minute but I will join and take a look. So glad you're feeling much better now 😊 Thanks again and i cant wait to see more ! 😁 xx
I am excited to start this diet, and I hope it makes me feel better! With a positive outlook and creativity, I can do this. There are so many options available in the stores if you have an open mind.
Me being 12 and having to start this diet is jest so difficult since I’m sort of over weight and I’ve been doing this for about a month now and doctors don’t know exactly what is happening to me with my stomach they think I have IBS and that’s what I tell people when they ask about my diet. But still really hard for me to stay with this diet 100% at all times sometimes like my birthday I had a break day but all in all this diet has helped me a little. And it’s true for the first week I felt not good on this diet but maybe even more than a month in it’s become sort of a routine.
Glad I found your channel and this video. I suspect I have IBS and getting all the tests out of the way. Knowing all this ahead of time will be really useful if so. Dr told me basically to see if it's any specific food, so I guess a food diary is what she meant. I know I am sensitive to gluten (was GF previously but started eating again), can't have dairy, and many of the things upsetting me recently were high fructose. This diet seems like it would be really good for me.
Wow thank you so much for this video! I just came back from my doctor who thinks I have IBS and gave me a list with all the things I can't eat during the diet... Oh dear. I've been eating basically everything on the no go list, and I'm trying to eat more vegan/vegetarian lately, which doesn't seem to be the easiest combination. My big question now is: where to start?! Your channel is a really great discovery for me, and you have such a calm and friendly vibe around you, it makes me a bit more confident that I'm gonna be able to do this :) So, thank you! I guess I've got a lot of video's to catch up to! :D
I'm having an awful episode of IBS-C! I've been eating Keto for a couple of years and have been fine. It's the stress of this pandemic that is getting to me. There is just no way of getting around this stress. I'm just being kinder to myself and eating really well. Now I have to eliminate more food from my diet! I feel like crying, also.
another tip that helped was putting in a good solid day at the grocery store taking pictures of foods you can eat. I was surprised to find how many cereals I can eat plus... I found out eating shredded wheal makes me feel better!!! I found the off brand of frosted shredded wheat doesn't have the fodmaps and its a resistant starch so my microbiome is waaay happier now! =D my symptoms are now half and I can go weeks without symptoms and even can have trigger foods like coffee again in modest/reasonable amounts. woot! look up resistant starches like cold potatoes, cold rice, green bananas, plantains and whole wheat (not enriched!!! that has malt which can be a no no, plus no nutritional value) eat those and your gut bacteria and gut wall will thank you! I even made a mistake of eating too many risky foods last week and my symtoms were mildy annoying and only lasted one day when it typically would require me to go to the ER for antispasm injections followed by a week of pain so bad I couldn't wear clothes (tmi?) so.... moral of the story, eat resistant starch! it can change your life... plus prevent cancer and diabetes, woot!
Thank you so much for the the tips,I ve been diagnosed past 2 years,but recently I've been told to follow this diet by the dietitian Im still struggling but this vedio has helped a lot.Thanks again.❤
I realized eating raw kale triggers me so badly. Once i get a severe trigger like that, most foods trigger and i can barely eat anything but once it calms down i can eat a bit more but still have to watch what i eat
What are the guidelines on how often you can eat items that have to be portion controlled? Is it typically 4-5 hours apart? Example: almond portion, oats portion, etc
Man, that was really helpful. I'm about to plunge into the SIBO diet for the second time. I felt great on the first time, it but whoa...i got bored after 9 mos because I didn't have many go-to recipes as you have wisely suggested here.
capsicum/peppers set me off so badly and people just don't understand. I'm just dipping my toes into low fodmap now but previously if I eat out the restaurant does not care in the slightest that I have advised "allergen" (for lack of better word that would be understood) and just chuck the capsicum into the meal anyway. It's incredibly frustrating. I know the word for capsicum in about 4 different ways now.... Not to mention people just think you're making things up in regards to bowel issues and digestion it's like because they can't see it it doesn't exist. They can't believe that sometimes I am in so much pain I can't move or get so bloated I look 6 months pregnant and it's painful. Thank you for the tips and the recipe book recommendation!
its so weird because alot of the foods ive already decided i hated because of how bad i felt afterwards, not knowing about IBS or fodmaps. Especially garlic and apples.
Just getting started. My biggest fear is that on top of cooking LOW FODMAP for myself I have to cook for my husband and children. I'm so concerned I'll fail. 😭
Yes. lol I always check labels its definitely second nature since going vegan. Even foods I eat often I still check the labels! just to 'make sure' the company didn't change the recipe and make it non vegan or something LOL. weird. I know but its what I do. Haha. Great video!
I ate broccoli last night and I literally looked 4 months pregnant today and in pain. Never again will I be enticed by the tiny trees 🌳
eat JUST the heads that might not kill you also try the broccolini heads :)!
@@SparklingLavaJellyfish what is broccolini?
Isn't Broccoli a low fod map diet?
@@TravellLove no as the stalks (my favourite part 😩) have Fructose in them.
This scares me. Broccoli is my favourite 😭
When you got to number 7, I actually broke down and cried. It came from no where, I didn’t even realize how overwhelmed I was. Thank you for your warm words of encouragement.
Oh Jennifer 💕 I hope you're feeling okay now. It's a difficult diet but getting control over IBS is worth it! Xx
Ohh. I feel you.
Sending love. ♥️
I just started and I feel better already. Only 24 hours and my stomach is 75% less bloated and 75% less pain. I’m hooked.
You are so lucky..I had no results with this
people always react with: why are you not allowed to eat *insert high fodmap food* when it's soo healthy?!
Haha, every time! 😂
I always reply with " I can eat it but I will have a stomach ache and horrible gas/ bloating" that helps most people understand.
It's just like for my son's high salt is important for them. Yes I get to eat as much salt as they want. And we have had so many people say that's so unhealthy. And I returned with the doctors told him to eat lots of salt.
So ANNOYING or they say you look anorexic like man only if they knew the struggle 😕😕
I can't eat anything right now dosen't matter anymore
The tip about forgetting how bad you feel once you feel good is SOO true. This is the trap I’ve found myself falling into again and again
Omg yes me to As we speak I’m not feeling well Taking my meds but still having an attack 😢
Me too man fuck
So true generally.
The confidence factor of going out and eating whatever with regrets is so true.
Just got diagnosed a few days ago, I have been struggling with these symptoms for the past 4 years, I am so glad I am not alone in this. Thank you for this video, love from South Africa!
I'm so sorry you've been struggling for so long! I hope low FODMAP can help xx
Let's do this together gal, I am in SA as well suffering from gastritis so they say. It's been 3 years.
How did you get the diagnostic ? What is it called ? Thx
@@kegomoditsweletlole6266 same. Also from SA
@@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject aww🙀❤💕💕👸🏼
when on low fodmap... and you really crave this thing. it is literally "is it worth the pain". XD
Omg same I love dr pepper rippp
I have Crohn's and I am going through the fodmap process now. I love how you said come up with one phrase for other people. People like to socialize around food, there have been many times I don't eat but I know others are uncomfortable.
I think it’s worth the pain for about a month until I lay in bed crying
Hi IBS has controlled my life for 49 yrs and I finally went to a dietician who listened to me . I’m 61 yrs old male. She showed me the diet as eveyone else was totally overwhelmed with so many choices which is not good for me. I downloaded the diet but she patiently went over it and turned me on to the Fody website. I’m practical and love convenience.
So she actually sent me full week menu earlier just for me to help me get started.
Omg I typed in Vegan low FODMAP on RUclips and didn’t expect to find anything but your channel is SO HELPFUL I wanna cry❤️
That's exactly why I decided to start the channel! I hope low fodmap helps xx
#5: I actually go in details until they are disgusted and stfu, they don't ask me anymore.
😅 An ingenious tactic
Ha!
I would accept it to my son so I just say he spends way too much time in the bathroom. But if he's around then he goes into detail until they try to get him to stop
"On a hot day you're feeling cold" - I feel like I've been searching for this video all my life
I'm so glad you talked about a food diary. This is the main tool I help my clients use to figure out their symptoms and track how they're doing.
Was just diagnosed with IBS a week ago, found this video, and it's so helpful! Low-FODMAP seemed very overwhelming and still does a bit right now, so thanks for posting this video! :)

Hello, did You have to have testing done & go to a Nutritionist ? I’m just curious what it was if You did. Ty 💗
My addition to the label reading tip: Read the label every time you pick out a food. The manufacturers can and will change the ingredients with no announcement.

I have said "it's like I get food amnesia". How could I possibly eat something, AGAIN, that makes me feel bad?
Thank you! I have just been diagnosed with IBS and have been trying this low FODMAT diet for a week now.

I’m not a vegan but this was really helpful and you are very watchable. I’m a coeliac and I’m just going trying to prepare myself for a FODMAP diet, so I can hopefully pin point what makes me ill. I’m just so fed up with feeling poorly!
Thank you, glad you found it helpful ☺️ I hope you feel better on the diet soon! x
Thank you so much for this helpful and informative video!! I have horrible bloating and have been thinking about eating low FODMAP for a while but have been a little intimidated! So happy to have discovered you
Glad I could help. My IBS got way worse after going vegan (so much garlicy hummus! 🤦♀️ If you haven't it would be worth seeing a Dr first, but it wouldn't hurt to try a few lowFODMAP days to see if you feel any difference. I subbed your channel btw, really nicely put together videos 👌 x

I found an awesome compilation of videos that should help you at Stomach Oracle Omnibus
I have ibs, and I am sick and not feeling well EVERYDAY. I’m so fed up with feeling bad and not being able to do most things. So I am trying to switch over to this new diet! It’s much harder to because I have about 6-10 food allergies, and pollen food allergy syndrome. So that makes the diet more limited. But I feel motivated to do it now.
I'm one week into elimination, I so needed this! Thank you so much! 🙏
I love your channel!!! You' ve give me hope. I 'm struggling with IBS for about 3 mounths and now i've decided that i want to be stronger than this health issue. Thank you!
You're so right! When I started the fodmap journey I was thinking that every single fodmap food was bad for me, so I eliminated them all and I felt absolutely like crap😞 we have to test everything on ourselves first
So true! And even though it’s restrictive at the beginning you end up with wayyy more foods you can confidently eat rather than cautiously guessing it’s all bad. I’m also learning to appreciate for me it’s not just a single meal but what I eat over several days adding up. How was your Christmas btw? ☺️ x
Carrie Gill Quite good thanks😊 I made gnocchi with potatoes and buckwheat flour and received a lot of useful gifts, I feel grateful for this Christmas😃
How went yours? 😊
Oooo, the gnocchi sounds awesome! Mine was lovely, pretty chilled, but nice to see family all together ☺️
I’m 22 years old and I can’t believe I have IBS. It’s sad but I guess I have to adapt. Nice video 👌
Thankyou for these tips. I can so relate. Yes feeling overwhelmed ATM with choices, eating out, feeling left out etc, etc. as a newbie. Great tips. I’m following the fodmap Monash Uni app which is helping with choices. Red is Stop and Green for Go! I will do a diary
Thank you! This is phenomenal :) I'm just looking into FODMAP right now, and this is really good to hear! Also, love the vibe :)
This is really calming thank you! I have an appointment with a dietician/nutritionist to get started with this in a couple of days and I was freaking out, but this helped a lot!
It’s definitely a lot to get your head round at the start but you will get a hang of it and it’s so worth it! Hope your appointment goes well ☺️ x
Forgetting my old symptoms is why I'm here Well said !
so excited I'm going to try out low formal diet because I've been having bad cramps and bloating especially after chickpeas! and im vegan
Thank you for these things to do before we start. I am getting ready to start the diet for my 12 year old son. Doctor's orders. We will be doing it for myself and my older son also since we have a lot of digestive issues as well. It is very overwhelming at this point so your ideas are very helpful. Thank you
Wishing you and your sons good luck with the diet x
Thank you. We will definitely need it. We are not used to eating very healthy overall. Lots of processed food so it will be an adventure. I appreciate it the suggestions of some specific things that make it easier like the onion or garlic infused oil. My added difficulty is that we live in an RV so I'm limited on Space to store things. Was Covetous over though we will just go to the store a little more often to get all the fresh things we need.
Im starting this journey and you are a great help. Thanks for your words! Beautiful video.
If you can have 1/3 banana and strawberries then you could make a small banana/strawberry smoothie, and keep the extra 2/3 banana in the freezer. First I freeze the bananas in 1/3 chunks, and I think frozen strawberries taste better than fresh strawberries. I usually add coconut milk, but any milk will do. I also add a tiny bit of vanilla.
Also you could make banana bread with a whole banana, and then only eat 1/3 of the loaf. It goes really good with almond butter.
I just got home from my doctor and she’s putting me on this diet. Thank you for the info.
This was wonderful! I'm just starting this afternoon and this was so helpful! Thank you!!
Thank you for your help I’ve been in so much pain no sleep for days sooo 😢painful 😱
so nice to see a vegan low fodmap video thank you!!
All my favorite foods are the things we aren’t supposed to eat on this diet😭
Geez you are so beautiful!! You can tell the diet keeps your skin glowing and those eyes as bright as can be!! The accent is just the icing on the cake!!
I think tips about anything based on accounts of wrong choices made by similar people are very valuable in all kinds of life experiences not just IBS. Good tips here. Thank you very much!
I have just started on it but to be fair I didn't eat a massively wide range of foods anyway and since most meats are included I am pretty happy
Thank you! Have a vegetarian guest who is on FODMAP (is that the right expression?) coming for a week in September-bit worried I won’t feed him properly. Feel a bit more confident now 👍
How thoughtful of you!
You have beautiful blue eyes, btw. I am trying to stay vegan since Dec 1. I have made almost 30 new recipes since then and my husband and I have spent most of the month in the bathroom. He really can’t have that at his job! We only have about 5 we we liked well enough to repeat. I have been reading cookbooks nonstop. I can’t wait to get the one you recommended!
I feel better just watching this video! Thank you 🥕
Wishing lots of luck on you low FODMAP journey xx
Thank you for sharing! I am just now beginning the elimination diet, and this was helpful to me. What a strange place to find ourselves in..
So glad it was helpful ☺️ It is so bizarre to be limiting so many healthy foods for the sake of our health 😅 Good luck! x
White corn tortillas are pretty much my best friend. Use them for any kind of sandwich, just make it a wrap instead. Oddly even works for PB + jelly.
I'll have to give it a go!
So greatful to have found you! 😍 I have crohns disease which is a form of IBD and when I'm not having a flare up I suffer with IBS 😣 I went vegan to see if that would make my symptoms any better but like you I still felt like poop (😂). J just wanted to Thank you for these videos and I can't wait to keep binging on them over the next few days 😊
Also I hope you are feeling much better! 💚
Thank you, glad you found them! I hope you find them helpful 😘 And I do feel so much better these days, I was just thinking how my "normal" is actually symptom-free, which really wasn't the case before 😳 xx
Btw, you're very welcome to join the private facebook group, everyone shares such useful advice and support in there ☺️ (facebook.com/groups/1649597611746021/)
Carrie Gill
Oh Thank you for letting me know I'm not on Facebook at the minute but I will join and take a look.
So glad you're feeling much better now 😊
Thanks again and i cant wait to see more ! 😁 xx
I am excited to start this diet, and I hope it makes me feel better!
With a positive outlook and creativity, I can do this. There are so many options available in the stores if you have an open mind.
You have a great attitude! Wishing you the best of luck with the diet! :)
Oh, I wish I had found you when I started this journey. Thank you for sharing.
Me being 12 and having to start this diet is jest so difficult since I’m sort of over weight and I’ve been doing this for about a month now and doctors don’t know exactly what is happening to me with my stomach they think I have IBS and that’s what I tell people when they ask about my diet. But still really hard for me to stay with this diet 100% at all times sometimes like my birthday I had a break day but all in all this diet has helped me a little. And it’s true for the first week I felt not good on this diet but maybe even more than a month in it’s become sort of a routine.
@fentysavage9848 I’m so happy for you it’s tough and I’m so happy your healthy. Im so happy they helped 😁
im so so happy i found ur channel. definately downloading ur ebook. starting a lowfodmap next monday :)
Been advised by crohns consultant to start this - not a huge veg or fruit fan!
Make sure they refer you to a dietitian! It's very hard to figure out alone.
Glad I found your channel and this video. I suspect I have IBS and getting all the tests out of the way. Knowing all this ahead of time will be really useful if so. Dr told me basically to see if it's any specific food, so I guess a food diary is what she meant. I know I am sensitive to gluten (was GF previously but started eating again), can't have dairy, and many of the things upsetting me recently were high fructose. This diet seems like it would be really good for me.
Wow thank you so much for this video! I just came back from my doctor who thinks I have IBS and gave me a list with all the things I can't eat during the diet... Oh dear. I've been eating basically everything on the no go list, and I'm trying to eat more vegan/vegetarian lately, which doesn't seem to be the easiest combination. My big question now is: where to start?! Your channel is a really great discovery for me, and you have such a calm and friendly vibe around you, it makes me a bit more confident that I'm gonna be able to do this :) So, thank you! I guess I've got a lot of video's to catch up to! :D
Funny how the half the doctors dont know or recommend this . Very funny that
It works
Great tips 👏 thank you for sharing 🙏 lots of love from Arctic Norway 🥰🍀🌼🌸
I have figured out a few if these on my own, and it's good to have the reassurance that I was correct. And the additional tips were useful too.
"Let go of the desire of eating " cut deep ..slowly working on it
..of eating out! Still lots of great food you can make at home to enjoy :)
I'm having an awful episode of IBS-C! I've been eating Keto for a couple of years and have been fine. It's the stress of this pandemic that is getting to me. There is just no way of getting around this stress. I'm just being kinder to myself and eating really well. Now I have to eliminate more food from my diet! I feel like crying, also.
I don't think I have ibs but my doctor recommended going on this diet. As a college student I'm already dreading this.
another tip that helped was putting in a good solid day at the grocery store taking pictures of foods you can eat. I was surprised to find how many cereals I can eat plus... I found out eating shredded wheal makes me feel better!!! I found the off brand of frosted shredded wheat doesn't have the fodmaps and its a resistant starch so my microbiome is waaay happier now! =D my symptoms are now half and I can go weeks without symptoms and even can have trigger foods like coffee again in modest/reasonable amounts. woot! look up resistant starches like cold potatoes, cold rice, green bananas, plantains and whole wheat (not enriched!!! that has malt which can be a no no, plus no nutritional value) eat those and your gut bacteria and gut wall will thank you! I even made a mistake of eating too many risky foods last week and my symtoms were mildy annoying and only lasted one day when it typically would require me to go to the ER for antispasm injections followed by a week of pain so bad I couldn't wear clothes (tmi?) so.... moral of the story, eat resistant starch! it can change your life... plus prevent cancer and diabetes, woot!
Thank you so much for the the tips,I ve been diagnosed past 2 years,but recently I've been told to follow this diet by the dietitian Im still struggling but this vedio has helped a lot.Thanks again.❤
Love cauliflower but I’ve been avoiding the two frozen bags in the freezer since I started the low FODMAP. 😢
I realized eating raw kale triggers me so badly. Once i get a severe trigger like that, most foods trigger and i can barely eat anything but once it calms down i can eat a bit more but still have to watch what i eat
Good morning 🌞
What are the guidelines on how often you can eat items that have to be portion controlled? Is it typically 4-5 hours apart? Example: almond portion, oats portion, etc
Download app - monash university low fodmap diet, it's worth every penny...
@@ninnuca true
Really useful video! Thanks
Thanks for all the resources! I'm vegan, too and needed some ideas.
Thank you so much for the advice. You have been so very clear and lovely presentation.
Thank you ☺️
Really appreciate your video, thank you !
Thanks, those are some really helpful tips! The garlic infused oil will be helpful and the miso you mentioned for flavouring dishes.
Omg thanks for the video & the list I’m so happy I found someone who’s vegan & suffers from it too 🙈
I Love your Chanel ALREADY! Literally want start crying right now ! Thank You!!
Man, that was really helpful.
I'm about to plunge into the SIBO diet for the second time. I felt great on the first time, it but whoa...i got bored after 9 mos because I didn't have many go-to recipes as you have wisely suggested here.
Have you or anyone on the comments found that you had to eliminate coffee?
I switched to decaf. 2 days of headaches, but im fine
yep! caffeine kills me
Fixin to start low fodmap after years ago my GI reccomended it but I ignored it til now. Thank you for this super informative video!
capsicum/peppers set me off so badly and people just don't understand. I'm just dipping my toes into low fodmap now but previously if I eat out the restaurant does not care in the slightest that I have advised "allergen" (for lack of better word that would be understood) and just chuck the capsicum into the meal anyway. It's incredibly frustrating. I know the word for capsicum in about 4 different ways now....
Not to mention people just think you're making things up in regards to bowel issues and digestion it's like because they can't see it it doesn't exist. They can't believe that sometimes I am in so much pain I can't move or get so bloated I look 6 months pregnant and it's painful.
Thank you for the tips and the recipe book recommendation!
its so weird because alot of the foods ive already decided i hated because of how bad i felt afterwards, not knowing about IBS or fodmaps. Especially garlic and apples.
Thanks for your video. Great for newbies 👍🏻
Those title splash screens are on screen too quick! Be kind to us slow readers D'':
I found “Low-FODMAP and Vegan What to eat when you can’t eat anything,” by Jo Stepanakert, MSEd super helpful 😊. I hope you do too!!!
Just getting started. My biggest fear is that on top of cooking LOW FODMAP for myself I have to cook for my husband and children. I'm so concerned I'll fail. 😭
why do so many people say don't eat garlic? and others say garlic is great for SIBO
Wow nailed it with the when your hot you forget what’s it like to feel cold analogy! I get blase with food all the time haha
Yes. lol I always check labels its definitely second nature since going vegan. Even foods I eat often I still check the labels! just to 'make sure' the company didn't change the recipe and make it non vegan or something LOL. weird. I know but its what I do. Haha. Great video!
this. i hate it SO much when companies just up and change the recipe and ingredients, and then DONT EVEN MENTION IT 😟😟😟
So helpful! Thank you!
Great job
Thank you so much for these tips!
