I am totally not discouraging you from trying the low FODMAP diet, only sharing MY experience with it. I was so sick and in so much pain last summer that I tried it as a last resort. I did it under the guidance of a trained dietitian. I was already severely underweight and continued to lose more weight because the diet is so limiting. I felt so sick and the foods I was allowed to eat, I did not want to eat, so I just barely ate. My gi
finely made me stop it.
I recently met with a new dietician after finding out the tortuous colon is the root cause of my constipation. She said the FODMAP works for food sensitivities which is generally not the case with tortuous colon. It is an actual functional issue. It’s more the composition of food that affects our digestion, unless you have an actual intolerance like wheat or lactose. I’ve been following her diet for a week and have noticed a huge improvement after years of every medication available.
