I am also in the elimination phase of the low FODMAP diet. I almost only eat home made food, made from fresh ingredients, to make sure I don't have " accidents" , however I still feel I am not doing it right as portion sizes are difficult to control. I just need to know, for how long should I continue to follow the diet if I don't feel improvement of symptoms? I mean when will I know the diet is not working with me ?

hopethereisnothing - Do not go it alone. Make sure your Registered Dietician is certified by Monash University or has experience with FODMAP diet. Supplement your knowledge with the Monash U's application - It provides lots of support, education, and gives amounts of what foods you can safely consume. Remember, the amounts go PER MEAL, not per day. The Dietician will help you through the elimination phase, then through the reintroduction phase.

The Monash U's website / blog includes recipes as does their application, I think. (I deleted it quite some time ago when the diet did not help me, so maybe I dis-remember.)
