Have you had FODMAP elimination diet success?

I have had IBS-D for over forty years. I have been gluten free for thirteen years and it has helped. I have also known since I was a kid that certain foods really bothered me. I also don't do dairy. I can't eat raw apples but can eat gluten free apple pie and apple sauce. I can't eat watermelon but I can eat cantaloupe I can eat a raw peach but not plums or nectarines. I am also having problems finding a statin that doesn't give me diarrhea. Going on a family vacation next month and am always nervous about that which I think makes everything worse. A lot of eating out. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and we're going to Savannah GA. I have no idea how I am going to find GF in the deep south. Thank goodness we rented a big house with lots of bathrooms.

GF does exist in the Deep South!
We live on Hilton Head Island, 45 minutes drive from Savannah.
A lot of restaurants now have some GF options.
My daughter has celiac disease so we always keep our eyes open.
Most places have online menus and often will show if they have GF items.
You’ll love Savannah! It will be hot and humid though.

A sense of humor always a positive! I do crave an away vacation…. (along with my daughter been caring for my 93 year old mom for three years now). That’s the big change in my life which may play a part in my situation. The GI issues are new to me, good to know you’ve arranged a workable life though suffering for so long. Bon Voyage.
