Can you eat coconut oil when avoiding FODMAP's? I know coconut cream/milk are no-no's, but wasn't sure about oil.

I'm craving some thai chicken :P

I was on the Australian yahoo group recently and the update from Sue Shephard was that coconut is now ok, cream/milk/flakes/oil.

To celebrate I had a small amount of Coconut Bliss icecream.

Broccoli also got the ok but I'm not celebrating that one :P

Interesting & thanks Kayo!

Everything regarding FODMAP on the internet is contradicting. Some sights say no tomatoes, some say they are fine. Ditto about broccoli, kiwi fruit, grapes and a few others. I'm so confused :blink:

What about peppers? Poblano? Capsicum are supposed to be okay?

I agree - it's so contradictory!! That's why I stick to the information that comes from Australia, Monash University, and Sue Shephard in particular. They're the pioneers in fructmal and have the latest and most accurate info.

The related yahoo group is my 'go to' place to ask questions. The site also has lots of articles, lists, recipes, etc. I ordered the Monash booklet so I would have a handy guide.

I also like the book "IBS - Free at Last" by Patsy Catsos. The information is the same as the Australian info.

On top of that each of us are different. Someone might be able to eat tomatoes and someone else can't. It's such a long process to figure these things out.

However, in general fresh tomatoes are ok in moderation but things like ketchup and tomato paste contain a lot of fructose because the tomato is concentrated. I've avoided both but I have had small amounts of tomatoe sauce and salsa.

Peppers in general are ok too, including the spicy ones. I haven't had any issues with peppers.

I can send you my excel spreadsheet if you like. It has safe, questionable and not safe foods listed.

YEAH! I just ordered the IBS - Free at Last book!!! Patsy mentioned she only used the latest research from Australia to write the book, so I'm glad I picked this one. I was going to order the one from Sue Shepherd but she mentions that most of it is brand specific to Australia....but, I guess the fruits & veggies list would be accurate! I'm going to look up the yahoo group too.

Send me that excel spreadsheet if you don't mind. I'll PM you my email. Thanks so much. I'm already feeling much better, but that's only because I'm avoiding nearly EVERYTHING! But, it sure has been nice not feeling bloated, crampy and running to the pot every so often :blink:

Thanks!!!

I think she mentions it in the book but I spaced on it.

Cheers

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By DebD5 · Posted

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By DebD5 · Posted

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in female hormones/menopausal symptoms. Early ovarian failure happens in celiacs so I read  on the celiac disease center in Chicago website.

      Advice please

      By DebD5 · Posted

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.
