Anybody here on low FODMAPS or a fellow IBS sufferer?

The low FODMAPS diet has been suggested to me. Just wondering if it's possible to make gainz on this shit.

Fodmap will help you find what you react to, and when you have those mapped out you can work around them to be able to eat a balanced diet. I have my routine pretty set by now and it works great. Gaining weight for the first time in forever.

awesome dude. did it help you with your ibs? specifically the fucking bullshit bloating symptom if you had that?

Sorry, lost the thread for a bit
It helped immensely. The bloating issues dissappeared completely when I found out what foods caused them and avoided them. I still have some issues with weird food combinations but I'm learning (combinations, not just singular foods, is a factor sometimes).

thats really good to know. what foods or food combinations did you find you were unable to eat? was it a lot of stuff or just a few things? do you find it alright to eat out at restaurants and stuff?

thanks

I can't eat processed foods at all, and have issues with a lot of basic things like oils and most grains (I can still eat clean rye, yay).
Eating out can be a challenge. Junk food places are completely out of the question but the high end places are mostly fine. They make more from scratch and use better ingredients.
Some of the things I love to eat are impossible to eat together. A lot of people react to kale, cabbage and apples, but I'm fine with them as long as I don't eat them along with fatty foods. Salmon and apples eaten within 4 hours of each other is a nightmare. Most IBS-people react to legumes but I react less to legumes than I do grains, so it's very individual.
You just have to explore your own system and see what works. One thing is that you have to learn to cook from scratch. There are really no shortcuts if you want to avoid the bloat, cramping and diarea/constipation hell.

fucking hell dude how long did it take you to realise all that stuff? sounds never ending.

I've been living with IBS for 15 years now, so I've had time to adapt to it. It never ends, but managing symptoms makes a lot of difference.
It makes life miserable at times, but friends and family are used to it. IBS can make it difficult to be social unless you have access to foods you know are safe for you.

well, now you're at a place where you're mostly good and hardly have any pain/bloating right? also healthy with your gym and gains going on right?

*Also what about booze? Can you still have a good night out? Probably not, fuck.
