I have been diagnosed with fm and lactose intolerance and acid reflux . I no longer have bacterial overgrowth. I do not have gas. My symptoms were constant heart burn and bloating. Yes now see a nutritionist and started a Low FODMAP diet with the elimination of foods for fm and reflux. I have also been taken off gluten. There is not much that I can eat. And only drink water. I have eliminated my vitamins and pro biotic since they all have some form of sugars not allowed. Would love to find a probiotic, calcium and multi vitamin I can take. My menu is basically salmon, chicken, quinoa, brown rice all gluten free.. oatmeal, hard boil eggs, carrots and cucumbers, lettuce. I tried a half slice of Muenster cheese in an omelette and had severe diarrhea. I was a cheeses addict before this all started. So I will try it again at some point maybe a quarter of a slice and maybe fat free. I tried tuna in oil and felt terrible after. So no oil for me. Will try in water soon.
Nutritionist is very helpful. Also doing stress management excercises. I have not touched a fruit in about a year. Trying to feel good for more than 5-6 days.

Low FODMAP diet has a lot of sugar in it, even the "maintenance" dose before you start reintroducing more FODMAPS. I can't eat any FODMAP foods to speak of. Brown rice hulls have chains of fructose in them called fructans, so you might want to switch to white rice. Carrots, cucumber and lettuce have sugars in them. Most vegetables do have sugar in them. If you read through this entire fm discussion entry you may get some ideas of what to take/eat. For example, I tell the brands of the drugs and supplements (including calcium) I take that may work for you as well. Again, good luck!
