Just thought I would add an update and maybe it might help someone! That would be good. At my daughter's suggestion I have been been eating NO GRAINS...not just no wheat...but NO grains... I thought I would 'just die' without pasta even the good ol' rice pasta, but you know what? It is HELPING!!
Forget the gluten free (for me!) I am really GLAD that the gluten free diet works well for some people...but for me, it doesn't... in fact, the gluten free bread makes me feel sick, same way with gluten free macaroni....
I am not so strict that I can say not one tiny smidgeon of grain never passes my lips... but I just substitute. Thank heavens for mashed potatoes! I have also discovered that American cheese is not my friend.... I know we are all different. And what works for some doesn't work for others. The FODMAP is not an end-all perfect idea for EVERYbody... we just have to keep working to find out what is best for each of us. Good luck!!
