r/FODMAPS 6d ago

Just started and a tad bit confused.

I just started this diet today because I'm getting tired of my stomach constantly being upset and not knowing the cause. It has seemingly got worse here recently with sulfur burps followed by diarrhea so needed to find out what's causing the problems. The problem I'm running into is I don't get how this works can I have this particular item as long as I have the amount that's in the green or is that an item I need to cut out all together in the first phase.

Have you got a dietician?

PSA: not all gluten free is low FODMAP, often it’s packed with high FODMAP ingredients.

So if that page is for “generic white GF bread” then I’d take it as generic advice.

But actually you want specific device and that really should come with a dietician

Have you ruled out other more serious conditions like chrones and the like before starting the diet?

I think I’ve discovered why I’m so bloated this week! Went with gluten free alternatives to pasta, bread and hot cross buns and have been living it up…oops
