Hello Colleen
Thank you for the links and the feedback. I have tried the Fodmap diet. It is difficult for me to do long term being a vegetarian and trying to go vegan. Some of the foods that I love ( broccoli, beans, chickpeas) I am supposed to avoid. I am trying CBT to reduce stress and anxiety and I do see a therapist. I have now completely cut out decaf coffee and have stopped drinking beer or wine ( I only drank a couple of beers or a couple of glasses of wine with my wife once or twice a week anyway).
Thank you!
RR

Greetings, rr1967:
The FODMAP protocol is NOT meant to be long term. You exercise diligence by avoiding FODMAP foods, wait about 2-ish weeks after achieving anti-FODMAP-ism, then begin adding foods back family by family. If a food type proves to be problematic, then that is what you no longer eat. You may find that no food causes you problems.
The Registered Dietician with certification and/or experience with the diet is your friend and will guide you through the process.
