Low FODMAP ingredients - specific recommendations

Recently, I had blood work to determine what foods I might be sensitive to, to possibly help with inflammation in some areas; (slightly off fodmap topic) and the difference between what should be avoided on fodmap and what I should avoid for inflammation was amazing!!! Almond products, eggs, great on fodmap, terrible for my inflammation.
Eggs were top of the list! Gluten, most dairy (except cheddar cheese???) were also things to avoid. Everyone is different…

ch47 - The FODMAP diet eschews grains with gluten as a component (until you rule them in or rule them out), but NOT because of the gluten, which is a protein. The problem with those grains are the oligosaccharides - the "O" in FODMAP - primarily the fructan component, that are the problem in IBS. It just happens that grains with the problematic oligosaccharide sugars also have gluten, not usually problematic in IBS. "Gluten-free" in FODMAP is just a short-cut way of knowing what to eliminate.
From the Monash University website, the developers of the FODMAP diet - https://www.monashfodmap.com/blog/avoiding-wheat-how-strict-on-low-fodmap_10/
The best of luck!
Until I did a good sensitivity test FODMAP wasn’t working for me. The foods I was sensitive to were allowed on low FODMAP.
What kind of blood work did you have done? Did your PCP do it for you? I would love to find out what I’m sensitive to.

Dairy with a lactaid pill or lactose free dairy may be ok.
You should ask or explore!
