I wanted to look into the FODMAP for me and my kids, and I was wondering what the best book for the how's and why's of this diet is.  Any advice would be welcome. :)

Hi Nicole...someone recommended the book by Sue Shepard to me. I had it on hold at the library, but by the time I got it the holidays were upon us and I didn't end up doing anything with it. It looked good if that helps. Lol! I have a hard time mentally thinking about giving up any more food right now.

I have the book by Sue Shepard, it's pretty clear and informational. I also have a hard time mentally giving up any more food. I did make some changes, but for the most part I am so restricted to begin with I didn't jump into it fully. 

 

I am having surgery in a few weeks for a broken toe, and the surgeon recommended it for other issues we discussed, like arthritis changes in my bones he saw. he is sending me to a rheumatologist to check into this, and I meet with him on Friday. if this doc recommends it I will probably make more changes. 

 

always something!

LOL It helps.  ;)  I actually have a hold on that one at the library. I should have it by February.

Good luck with the rheumy!  I hope you find answers, but then again I hope you don't.  ;)  I know when I saw the rheumy I actually broke into tears of frustration when she said my arthritis must be celiac disease related.  I was relieved but ridiculously disappointed that there was nothing I could do but give it more time.  LOL  :rolleyes:   That rheumy did not recommend anything about dietary changes to me at all.  Actually, she did nothing for me but I wasn't in a flare up at the time of my appointment so I'm mot sure what she believed either.

 

Good luck!  Let us know how it goes.

Here is a link to the one my g.i. gave me.

It's really not a hard diet to follow.  I did it for about six months.  I did get a little tired of eating the same vegetables, but just in time the dietician told me to add in summer squash and zucchini.  It's very similar to the SCD diet, but I found it to be not as restricting and easier to follow.  You'll find good recipes on Kate Scarlotta's blog, also.

Together with Celiac I also have IBD and although I am now officially in remission since i have been gluten free GI recommended I go on FODMP diet in order to deal with some other intolerances and problems I also have - this book was recommended to me: IBS free at last! By Patsy Catsos is a good guide to the FODMP elimination diet - it looks like it is devoted to IBS but also deals with celiac and IBD and I have found it extremely informative. Hope this helps!!

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      @pilber309, as knittykitty pointed out, lactose intolerance is not the only issue with dairy in celiac community. Lactose intolerance has to do with the sugar component of dairy, lactose. However, some celiacs react to a protein fraction in dairy, namely, casein, like they do gluten.

      Can You Really Trust Gluten-Free Menus? What Every Celiac Needs to Know Before Eating Out

      Over the last 3+ years I've had very good experiences with waitstaff being very knowledgeable about celiac in some chain and other restaurants. Some good news: I recently verified that Jack in the Box has separate fryers for breaded food and their French fries. I've had their S/W chicken salad (grilled), fries and TONS of their tacos with no ill effects...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      It could well be a new intolerance developing. Does your diet incorporate pure oats i.e. those safe for coeliac consumption? I find I can only tolerate a certain amount, same goes for dairy in fact, then I start to get gastric symptoms. Or have you started consuming a new type of gluten-free bread, or more gluten-free bread than normal, that might contain...

      Burning Sensation in the small intestine

      I eat a lot of dairy but its intermittent is this burning so I would assume it would happen all the time. Plus I have been tested for lactose intolerance  etc and I am fine and the other symptoms of that I don't get. As a aside  my dad died last month after a long illness so I wonder if the stress of that might be a influence as a bodily reaction to stress.
