Sorry cannot help as have had similar issues since pelvic radiation years ago.. so tired of keeping lists of what i ate and still not able to find what gives me problems - not sure if different FODMAP diets are all the same, but tried for 2 weeks and was worst yet, but that was a few years ago, and included things like barley, turnip etc. I agree, cooking, eating, company is so pleasant or used to be now its worry worry worry. Even my home made soup I have cramps and runs day after (i have history of ibsD and c.diff and F.I.) ... but I wanted to give an example here of such a surprise when husband got wrong type of little packages of oats last week: I thought the packets in box just contained oats and i did cook with water and 2 per cent milk... as I tipped the little package into saucepan I saw white powder - husband said oh probably just oat powder - i tasted and it was SALT. Well I know the true Scottish oats are cooked with salt but didnt expect it to be already in this, and what if allergic to;
so read the Box the packages came in:
INGREDIENTS: Whole grain rolled oats, Whey protein concentrate, Whey protein, Whole grain oat flour, Calcium carbonate, Salt, Soy lecithin. Then right under that it reads:
Contains Oats, Milk, Soy. May contain wheat.
But..... inside on the little packages you tear open it only reads:
Contains Oats, Milk, Soy
May contain: Wheat

So am I missing something here and are other food products in packs that contain smaller packages.... shouldn't the ingredients be the same on the box that contain the little packages and vice versa? What if someone gets the little package which seems ok but the box it came in lists more ingredients.
For those of us who cannot eat certain things, I try and remember to read the ingredients on the box and on the individual servings inside... this isn't the best example but never expected salt to be included. And how can they list Milk as an ingredient when its OATS.
Maybe I am overthinking this?
