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.

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.

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.

[@hannahboutilier98]

As someone who has been on different levels of this diet for years these are great tips. Especially pre preparing snacks and lunches. When your on the go, it's really easy to not want to take the time to make something that your belly will appreciate so preparing stuff ahead of time reduces the likelihood you'll eat something you regret later.

[@littlefish1]

Wow it's so great to see this! I started low fodmap in 2016 and wasn't aware of these kinds of resources - it makes me happy that maybe people who are starting out can watch and feel that they are not alone / have useful tips! As someone who's been on it for some time I'll also share some thoughts! Some might be more applicable to the long term/modified diet instead of elimination phase. - not just take care of your physical but also mental health. Depends on the person of course, but be aware of what restricting your food does - and find ways to feel free with it (for example by having green options that you can eat as much as you feel like). If you mess up and get stomach ache, it's ok! Don't get down on yourself too much, you're trying and therefore helping all the other times! - I really really recommend the first tip. It's super overwhelming to start and having to think of meals while hungry. I had a sort of week planner /recommended meals from my nutritionist for the first week. - instead of thinking of restrictions / foods you CANNOT eat, think in terms of foods that you CAN. You will feel less down and missing foods, and it's easier to be creative with thinking of what meals to make. - for me it works best to have only one restricted food type per meal when I cook for myself. So I can just make sure to stay orange with that one and then only have green foods with it. Otherwise it becomes complicated and I make mistakes and cooking is less fun. - get Monash University fodmap app!!! Actually this should be tip number one haha. It will save your brain. - just good to be aware that soy and rice are quite complicated in terms of which products you can or cannot have. A short Google search helps clarify things - try to make your fodmap diet as close to your natural diet as possible. If you normally like snacking or less healthy foods as well, make sure you have some low fodmap alternatives. It's a medical diet, not one that is meant for losing weight. - for going out to eat, poke bowl places are great as they often let you choose what you want. There's also more and more pancake places with gluten or lactose free options. In general, maybe let go of the want to go out to eat for the six week elimination phase. After that, calling beforehand could help, and in general restaurants that don't have the meals prepared yet can usually be flexible. That said, some places are quite rude about it. Keep in mind that it's not your fault and laugh about it with your friends. - decide before going to a restaurant if you feel like keeping to the diet and to what extent. For example, these days I go gluten free and no garlic or union - but if there is a tiny bit or garlic or union in for example a sauce, I eat it. I get a little bit of symptoms sometimes, but not nearly as much if I would have let go all the way. And I'm still having a fun time without worrying too much if the restaurant has options for me or if I'm eating something I can't have. - don't be afraid to get creative and flavor sauces etc. Most basic flavorings are actually allowed, including soy sauce, vinegar, rice water, miso, soy bean paste, Sesame oil, all types of herbs and spices etc. In the end its cheaper and you get more variety than hanging onto the one sauce in the supermarket that didn't have garlic. - lastly yes it definitely gets much easier!! Once you're used to it, tbh when I'm cooking for myself I don't feel that restricted anymore. I go to the supermarket and pick up whatever I feel like eating. Yes, the first time I did groceries for fodmap I was in the store for two hours trying to read labels and looking everything up. But you really get used to it and these days I read labels automatically and know if I can have it from the top of my head. It doesn't take me extra time anymore to read the labels (except if I'm looking for something really specific that they don't have a lot of) I'm about to try and make millet milk, as a vegan alternative thats green fodmap. Let's see if it works! Good luck everyone, you got this!! Edit: also the tip about having a one-sentence explanation ready is so good I can't believe I've never thought of doing that. I'm definitely gonna use it!

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!

[@SilenceIsGolden4]

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!

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?

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

So glad my video has helped motivate you... Its just a restrictive diet! Especially when, like you said, you feel unwell.

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.

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

[@laurenvanluik7184]

Thank you! This is phenomenal :) I'm just looking into FODMAP right now, and this is really good to hear! Also, love the vibe :)

[@latinosunidos2761]

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 👌

[@Shannonlee1985]

I just got home from my doctor and she’s putting me on this diet. Thank you for the info.

[@LittleZebraDragons]

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

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Wishing you and your sons good luck with the diet x

[@LittleZebraDragons]

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.

[@SativaSteven]

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!!

[@Sirianta]

Im starting this journey and you are a great help. Thanks for your words! Beautiful video.

[@ZenandZaatar]

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

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

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'm one week into elimination, I so needed this! Thank you so much! 🙏

[@TheRetrospective]

Really good tips, especially that becoming ‘cocky’ when feeling a bit better. So true. 😂

[@thedoover6520]

I have said "it's like I get food amnesia". How could I possibly eat something, AGAIN, that makes me feel bad?

[@MrYorickJenkins]

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!

[@harrymyhero]

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!

[@mayadesai4280]

so nice to see a vegan low fodmap video thank you!!

[@mmurphy2528]

Forgetting my old symptoms is why I'm here Well said !

[@geisha_live]

I cook low FODMAP menu every single day. Fortunately I have good recipes!

[@suzq2744]

I’m a year into vegan. At first my stomach was so happy from cutting out dairy but recently I’ve been starting to have really bad stomach problems again. Going to ask my gastroenterologist for more testing. Not sure if it’s sibo, ibs, garstroparesis, or something else

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Hope you get a diagnosis and feel well soon! x

[@10-OSwords]

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.

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

I'll have to give it a go!

[@ToruKurosawa]

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

[@diannebertold3602]

Oh, I wish I had found you when I started this journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@emmetdunne2]

Thanks 🙏 great info. I have a question if anybody can help. I have IBD but tested negative for a gluten Intolerance. Does this mean I can eat gluten or not?? Or do I just test myself by eating and seeing how I feel? I just got diagnosed last week, dr thinks its Crohn’s, I really upped my veg intake since the doc told me and all my symptoms have improved, carrots, spinach mostly and some turnip yesterday, trying courgette tomorrow 😮 wild I know …..

[@larisselajanuario]

I’ll start watching now and I really hope it helps. I can’t stand 1 whole week with this low fodmap diet. I’m angolan, our food is very diverse and guess what? 99% high in fodmaps. I’m suffering.

[@Patty121855]

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.

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

You have a great attitude! Wishing you the best of luck with the diet! :)

[@Stringdude86]

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

[@erikareading]

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.

[@amyparks8670]

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..

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

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

[@pennyhutchins2548]

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 👍

[@BiscuitsInSeptember]

How thoughtful of you!

[@wakeupbell2491]

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.

[@gabrielamailow8526]

Hello there I have seen your insomnia video Could you please answer cause it'll make me relieved Do you get to sleep like 7-8 hourr and are you still doing the same routine for sleep Should try to make myself sleep if i can't sleep after 2-3 hours or sleep and stay awake and get tired the rest of the day till my bedtime

[@janettempest716]

Thank you for your help I’ve been in so much pain no sleep for days sooo 😢painful 😱

[@greenflower360]

I don't think I have ibs but my doctor recommended going on this diet. As a college student I'm already dreading this.

[@educesar26]

im so so happy i found ur channel. definately downloading ur ebook. starting a lowfodmap next monday :)

[@deeange6760]

thank you for the great tips, very useful before I start the elimination stage of the low fodmap diet

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Good luck!

[@DayoJellyfish]

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

[@oscarce7409]

This channel could make me a vegan, with IBS I thought it was imposible 💚

[@karachikelazizkhane6808]

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.❤

[@sonnyca]

Love cauliflower but I’ve been avoiding the two frozen bags in the freezer since I started the low FODMAP. 😢

[@Lovele13]

I just started looking into low FODMAP yesterday very interesting I think I need this diet as I have very digestive issues especially with grains like lentils and beans and all those sort of foods

[@mijuajua4820]

Thank you for this. I need to do this. I am so tired of the bloating, the pain. I love to eat everything I want to but the pain is too much😫

[@TheIrritableVegan]

Happy New Year Carrie. Thanks for these fabulous tips, I wish I'd known all of this when I started. This is going to be a huge help for anyone just starting their low FODMAP journey.

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Thanks! What do you wish you'd known before starting? xx

[@Jemima.]

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!

[@Bessie66]

Been advised by crohns consultant to start this - not a huge veg or fruit fan!

[@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject]

Make sure they refer you to a dietitian! It's very hard to figure out alone.

[@heartywhistler]

Thanks for your video. Your tips are excellent! However, I am confused about a couple things.. If garlic is bad, how is garlic-infused olive oil good? Polenta is made of corn. On the list my doctor gave me yesterday, corn is on the not allowed list.

[@lemongrove57]

There are a number of different lists out there from different "experts", and they vary from one another due to differences in opinion, individual tolerances, being combined with other diets, etc. The garlic infused in oil is ok because the problematic part of it doesn't dissolve in or get picked up by the oil, so when you strain it, you get only the flavored oil.

[@jenniferday1567]

So glad I checked out your youTube video.Just got back from Mum and Dad's where there's nothing I can eat and it upsets them. Mum is just as sick as me but she refuses to see the diet link. Well she is 90 so be it.

I feel better just watching this video! Thank you 🥕

Wishing lots of luck on you low FODMAP journey xx

[@janicemaceachern1004]

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.

[@georgiemaddie7617]

i just read that quinua is not good for us... Thank You for this great information!!!
