You are doing the right thing! Homemade is the best, and as you said, you can control exactly what you eat.
How long have you been doing it?
Doctor that helped me said 4 months of elimination, but I have read 3 months. I did 4, because I didn’t want to do it again. It has been a couple years since I have done it, so not remembering exactly how I portioned things, but there are so many sites that may help you figure out how much to have of foods with low fodmap.
If you have been doing it for months, maybe consider a dietitian to help with portion sizes of what things at each meal, and how much low fodmap food you should have in a day.
Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I am just starting low FODMAP diet, still in the first week but I sometimes get frustrated when I get bad symptoms and think of quitting, especially that, in the whole period of my illness I didn't notice any connection to any particular food ( except onions which give me terrible gasiness). I will be getting a food scale to further control portion sizes. I am trying to stick to the diet more strictly and I know I will need time to master it so the results may be delayed, but I sometimes question my patience.
