What foods do I need to avoid on the low FODMAP diet for IBS? Elimination phase | Dietitian

[@kellyj.azania4371]

Just a few minutes ago, I got the order from my gastroenterologist to start this. I'm so thankful for this video. I need things explicitly spelled out, which is what you've done so very well.

[@didititian]

Really glad to hear that Kelly. Hope it is going well for you, and do aim to speak with a dietitian if possible to help you through this journey without risking any deficiencies.

[@53peace]

This video is so good. Learned so much relevant information which has helped me. I’ve been stuffing my face with so much fruit and vegetables thinking I’m being healthy! Just 2 days of stopping huge portions of plums, apples,broccoli etc I’ve lost almost 2 kg. Feeling better already and I’m sure I can sort out my diet soon. Thank you so much. Keep them coming.

[@kissinthekitchn]

This is very informative! The low FODMAP diet can be a tricky one to figure out, and I really like how you laid out the foods to avoid in a simple way. The blog article is also a great resource for people looking for a comprehensive list of what they can and can't eat when following low FODMAP.

This is THE BEST video on the low FODMAP diet that I have found since I first started having IBS symptoms. Thank you so much for putting this together! I wish that everyone who needs this would watch this.

[@963ag]

I actually have my first appointment with a gastroenterologist tommorrow... I was diagnosed with IBS last year, by my primary care doctor, who has otherwise basically ignored me. I have been doing my own research and really think I have SIBO and malabsorption. I am very health conscious and watch my nutrition, but just started the FODMAP diet about 10 days ago. I have heard that things can initially get worse, because of the detox. My symptoms haven't really changed except for a lessening of a strong sulfur odor.

[@aliciarose3995]

Got the suggested app right away and I’m already 3 days in. Great pointers in this video making a complicated topic much more straight forward!

[@didititian]

Awh so glad to hear Alicia! Yes its a very complicated topic, even for a dietitian with IBS!

Very informative! Thank you so much. I googled the low fodmap diet and couldn't get anywhere. It was like they're keeping it a secret. I will subscribe to your channel.

[@leeren_]

Great video! I love how you were straight to the point and very concise. Based on your experience, is it normal to see no improvements, say, 3-5 days into a strictly low FODMAP diet, but later seeing improvements towards the end of the elimination phase? I have a funny story. 2 months ago I switched to what I suspected to be a very healthy diet (kind of like Paleo), with tons of fats, little carbs, cruciferous veggies, lots of fiber, and lots of fermentable foods for building my gut microbiome. I have also always been super gluttonous so I was chowing down almost 4x your normal portion of brussels sprouts, and like 3 fermented soybean servings in a single day. I even did a 4 day fast while stomach pains had begun to onset to purge any folded proteins in my body. Well, the result of this has been excruciating pain throughout the day. Only after doing my own research and learning about the low-FODMAP diet a week ago did I realize everything I was eating was SUPER high FODMAP. Ironically, my path to a healthier diet led to one of the longest and worst ailments i've ever had. Anyway, the morale of the story is to learn about the low-FODMAP diet to help gauge your dietary decisions, and always listen to your own body above any other health advice. I hope people find that story intriguing. Would love to hear your thoughts on my aforementioned question.

[@pauletteperea9128]

Maybe you’ve already found the answer, but for anyone wondering, it is normal to see the results at the end of the elimination phase. My doctor explained that the improvement of one month (if done correctly) could be of 50%, it is a slow and constant process but totally worth it! Good luck to anyone who needs this 🎉

Hello I have been really struggling with the low fodmap diet lost over 2 stone since beginning it and I was under weight before I even started it, I started the vegaterian diet but it hasn't worked out for me personally which I'm very sad about I had to start chicken and pork and fish and Lamb but I feel absolutely guilty about this it's a very restricted diet as I have noticed sorbitol and mannitol and wheat and other toxic substances in a lot of products it's little wonder we have a society that is very ill with diabetes and other things not good at all, I would've found it better and easier with a booklet saying what we could eat instead of what we couldn't it's been really hard going I have tried to return food that I was told to avoid but I became bloated especially with avocado onions and garlic, this has opened my eyes big time to what they put in our food many thanks jacqueline Massie from Scotland 🙏😘

[@didititian]

That sounds so touch Jacqueline! Can I check, did you follow the low FODMAP diet under supervision of a dietitian? I always use lots of leaflets with my clients and make sure to help them understand what they CAN eat as well as what they CANNOT.

[@jackiemassie7557]

No I didn't get any leaflets on what to eat just not what to eat which has been a nightmare I have been trying to get in touch with my dietician but due to covid 19 nobody has been in touch with me yet I don't eat sugar do you think I should be having some sugar in my diet I feel very low and have no energy haven't slept a whole night since April due to the huge change in my diet I think I could have a magnesium deficiency am I aloud potatoes haven't had any in months as I thought starches were not aloud or good for us would you suggest some veggies for me and fruits, I have a slow transit in my large bowel just waiting for an aggressive clean out but I'm not sure when that will be due to the pandemic I can't do fibre it just sits there not unless I soak it overnight with hemp/Rice unsweetened almond milk what are healthy carbohydrates for low fodmap diet could you be so kind to leave me some ideas that would be greatly appreciated i had to go to animal protein as my hair was falling out and I felt so weak and tired still do my body is aching with the sudden loss of 2 stone a lot been going on it's not half a personal journey, I can't thank you enough for getting back in touch with me respect jacqueline Massie from Scotland 🙏😘

[@marshsundeen]

I just know from experience that at least half the low FODmap foods cause me problems as I have IBS-D. Raw veg and fruits, high fiber foods, eggs (except hard boiled), soy, and all artificial sweeteners cause me real problems. This is very discouraging. In the past I mostly could eat mushrooms, Zucchini, carrots, peas, and small amounts of onion and garlic.

[@didititian]

You're very welcome! The amount of grams of each food group is different. In my blog post that goes with the video, I give more exact amounts. I personally prefer to use "cups" or "handfuls" etc as this is often more practical than grams. But yes, each food is different.

i'm trying to figure out and maybe someone can shortcut my research is why grapefruit are often listed as "high" and oranges are listed as "low" even though their fructose to glucose ratios are very close to each other, around 1.0 which is supposed to be ideal. with that in mind, what makes grapefruit a high and oranges a low????

[@didititian]

Thank you for your your comment! Both orange and grapefruit would typically be considered low FODMAP, but as a grapefruit is often much larger than an orange, we would recommend 1/2 a grapefruit as a portion compared to a full orange. Over the day, the full fruit intake would also need to be considered, with no more than 2 portions a day recommended to avoid higher fructose intakes from larger quantities of moderate fructose-containing fruits. I hope this helps to answer your question!

[@DB-xp9px]

@@didititian So if oranges were slightly bigger then they would also be considered high fodmap?

[@didititian]

@@DB-xp9px almost all foods could be high FODMAP at larger amounts than on these lists. The best guide for portion sizes of foods that are low, medium or high FODMAP would be the on the Monash low FODMAP app. Definitely worth downloading if you are interested in more thorough information on the low FODMAP diet!

Hi Alexander, rice and rice noodles are thankfully low FODMAP! And rice cakes are something we regularly eat her ein Ireland. They are like biscuits made from puffed rice. There is no set amount of sugar that can be consumed on the low fodmap diet, but ofcourse for other health reasons, you may be advised to limit usual sugar consumption. We do however recommend to avoid added fructose-based sugar on the low FODMAP diet. Hope this helps!

It is definitely one of the trickier diets out there. And before starting this diet, I indeed highly recommend trying various other, less invasive, strategies to improve gut health first.

Hi Jack, yes as Alicia mentions, in this video I discuss what foods are low FODMAP. This diet is most definitely not the same as a "healthy eating" diet. It is far from healthy in the sense that it may pose a risk of nutritional deficiencies and lead to a reduction in our microbiotic diversity. It is a therapeutic diet only to be used for those with diagnosed IBS. And even in those circumstances, it should not be used for longer than 8 weeks or so.

What if diarrhea or constipation is not an issue, but rather a 3 month stomach distention almost everyday?

[@didititian]

That sounds very uncomfortable. Very sorry to hear you are living with this issue. I would definitely recommend that you speak to a doctor about your issue if you haven't already. Usually for an IBS diagnosis, there does need to be a link to bowel habits. The usual IBS diagnostic criteria (after exclusion of other potential gut concerns) are: At least three months, with onset at least six months previously, of recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort* associated with two or more of the following: - Improvement with defecation; and/or - Onset associated with a change in frequency of stool; and/or - Onset associated with a change in form (appearance) of stool. *Discomfort means an uncomfortable sensation not described as pain.

[@Daruffy]

Very useful video... i probably have IBS even though i still need to get the hospital checkup to make sure. But i figured it can't hurt to already start the diet because the waiting list is taking a while and i have all the symptoms anyway. So thank you for this clear information :) ... also "de Zwarte" sounds very Dutch and not Irish.

[@didititian]

Glad you found the video helpful. We do usually recommend that you speak to a doctor and/or dietitian when following this diet. Unfortunately while a diet may sound like it is harmless, we know that following the low FODMAP diet without careful management and review can indeed lead to nutritional deficiencies. Also, psychologically, following such a restrictive diet is incredibly taxing, with many people feeling isolated by not being able to eat out as easily, and some. Even developing food fears or further restrictive eating habits. We find that up to 80% of people with IBS can actually improve their symptoms sufficiently by following the first line advice, which I covered in my previous video. These are much less risky diet changes to try. Wow, long comment 😅. Hope this helps. I'm definitely not trying to be fear mongering. Just hoping to be realistic and informative 👍 And indeed, I'm Dutch! Well spotted! But I'm as Irish as they get after living in the Irish countryside for over 20 years 😄

[@Daruffy]

@@didititian Hello Didi thank you for the reply :) I am Dutch myself so the name sounded very familiar... but as i could not trace any accent on you i figured either your relatives had moved there or you went there at an early age. I watched the 2 previous videos today but i have to admit i already pretty much did all of the first line things... My problems have been ongoing for nearly 5 months now... but i only got send to a intestinal/stomach specialist 3 weeks ago and the waiting list is until the 25h of May. Considering i have my own small business where i can not afford being sick this has been a very big annoyance in my life. In the past i have been a chef so even within the Fodmap recommendations i seem to be able to make varied and interesting meals. The only recommendation in the first line though that i am doing the opposite is instead of eating more regularly is fasting for long periods and only eating twice a day... this has actually helped me quite a bit.
