Hi Lasirvent. My long post on the bowel management ideas was quite awhile back, and I just received the question about low fodmap. Sorry about my delay in response, as I had to get reoriented. My bowel regimen is working quite well. While I do the low fodmap partially, by default, while managing food choices that work and do not work, the other elements are just as impactful as the fodmap choices. The prescription component is the linzess, which I will likely need for the rest of my life, like a few other meds. (Such is life) .... but the miralax is what I am able to titrate, along with the different types of fiber, fats, and proteins. Liquids are an absolute. I do not allow the stool to get firm. I try not to overload the bowel with heavy/dense fibers. I am now able to freely eat raw greens, except for kale, and other raw vegetables carefully. I always fall back on soups ( low fodmap). The biggest low fodmap shifts have been green onions (vs regular) plus generally substituting vegetable options for the grains. I have increased olive oil as well. these dietary strategies (in a nut shell), along with my regimen of heat, positioning, hot drink (and the linzess... which I did not want, and have tried going without...) have shifted my life. They have allowed me to move forward with my life. I hope this helps, and I hope you discover what works for you. It is multifaceted for sure. Have a good new year!
