When I heard about FODMAP I had that blank stare. There are still foods that should be okay, but are not.
In addition, I have to watch out for certain fats/ oils that would cause major problems with my bile flow ( no gall bladder).
It could be worse.

That is interesting that you should mention bile flow and no gall bladder, @astaingegerdm. I had my gall bladder removed during one of my carcinoid cancer surgeries. I'm wondering if some of my digestive problems are related to bile flow problems. I suppose I really don't understand what roll the gall bladder (and lack of it) affects bile flow and the digestive process.

It could be worse, but it sounds pretty bad if you can't even eat the dregs that FODMAP has left us. I've had similar problems (tho I'm lucky enough to still have my gall bladder). If your problem is certain oils, have you read any of Dr. Cate Shanahan's books or visited her website? She writes extensively on the effects of vegetable and seed oils that are in most prepared foods: what she calls "The Hateful Eight."
