Have you had FODMAP elimination diet success?

I had bad spasms, always running to toilet for IBS-C. Lost 25-30 lbs before I got a handle on it. I needed a really (really) restrictive diet. I got the Monash FODMAP app.
I already knew I was intolerant to grains (wheat, rice, oats, etc.) and lactose. To those limitations, I experimented with the low FODMAP foods at the Monash-recommended quantities. But even rice is low FODMAP...
I ended up making a diet and lifestyle from the Monash "completely green lighted" food items - kabocha squash, green plantain (and its flour), parsnips, mature spinach, radish, green onion tops, collard greens, potatoes, papaya, mung bean sprouts and kiwi. I am sure I left something out.
Open to more questions. Have to go for now.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I downloaded the Monash FODMAP app yesterday! I can see how helpful it’s going to be. Yesterday was one month after my acute gastritis attack and finally the first evening since it started without horrid gut spasms. So relieved that a light at the end of the tunnel has appeared. Thank you for sharing your experience.
