Fodmap Diet

So has anyone heard of the the FODMAP diet? My niece is now put on it because her GI doctor told her that a lot of people are mis-diagnosed with celiac when really they have a sensitivity to fructose and other sugars. Basically you have to limit high fructose fruits like apples and pears and other sugars like lactose, raffinose (beans), and wheat (but not all gluten). I'm still so confused being new to the gluten-free diet. I see my GI on Thursday and am wondering if he'll put me on that diet BUT I don't want to try gluten again quite yet. ANY THOUGHTS OUT THERE?

Hi LCotter,

Can you tell us why you are on the gluten-free diet? Is it because you were diagnosed with celiac or your doctor suggested it to treat another condition? That would really determine what kind of diet you should be on. If you are diagnosed with celiac then I don't think the FODMAP will be an option for you as it doesn't restrict gluten completely.

GLuten and dairy give me D and C but I still get bloated, occasional D, and gas sometimes. He thinks that it maybe the sugars in beans, fruit, etc. I think its because my intestines haven't fully healed and I was eating beans and dairy way too soon in my gluten-free diet. Maybe I should see another doctor? Any suggestions?

Hi. :)

Thank you for the link to the article on FODMAP, I found it interesting.

My suggestion would be to keep a food journal that tracks the foods you have eaten and tracks your physical, emotional and mental responses, also keep your diet simple in the beginning so that when you add a new food in you can see how it makes you feel. Keep in mind your reaction may not be immediate and this is why a journal can be so helpful because you can go back and see if there is a pattern.

But perhaps you are already doing this. :)

Or is your question is "should I follow the FODMAP diet and not the Gluten free diet?"

It takes time and perhaps you are right about introducing too many beans too soon.

My doctor thinks that I might be having reactions to the fructose in just wheat and other types of sugars but I don't want to try gluten again just for this reason. I've been doing a lot better off gluten. I do keep a food journal and it seems that I have gas and or D when I have eaten beans, lactose, or sugar free products. Could this just be because my gut is senstive and healing? I guess that is my question. Thanks again for all the help out there!!

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
