#fodmapchat [2]
Unfortunately I was on a flight yesterday so I missed the twitter #fodmapchat hosted by Kate Scarlata and moderated by two Monash University researchers, Jessica Biesiekierski and Jaci Barrett. I recapped the first one I (virtually) attended here and I just wanted to point you all to Kate Scarlata’s recap of this month’s (June 2012) conversation here. It’s highly informative … Continue reading
Wheat detox
Recently I’ve had the damndest time with wheat. It all started with a weekend trip. And some delicious fresh bread. It’s so easy to be carefree while traveling. Anyway, I returned from vacation and continued my poor, haphazard, non-FODMAPs eating and (of course) felt the effects. What began as a foray in the wheat column … Continue reading
Guest post from Sarah: Fermenting and FODMAPs
I’m really excited for this next post because Sarah has been a huge source of information and support for me in my FODMAPs journey. Her story is so similar to mine, it’s eerie. And yet, it’s a comfort knowing there are others out there who have also been struggling without relief, been dismissed or overlooked … Continue reading
Giving up gum
I waited a while to publish this post because – like any addict – I figured relapses were likely. But I’m almost 2 weeks in now, so here it goes. Thoughts on GUM. It’s pretty easy to limit my Orbit habit on non-work days, but lately I’ve been making big strides in keeping my sticks … Continue reading
a complete FODMAPs food list [as I know it]
Below is a list that I’ve compiled from various sources. I decided to make it after getting frustrated by the conflicting information around FODMAPs. It’s hard enough to deal with IBS and food sensitivities… The groups include: Fructose* Lactose Oligosaccharides (FOS/fructans and GOS/galactans) Polyols *Foods with more fructose than glucose (more than 0.2 g per … Continue reading
Latest Obsessions [II]
The first round up of my FODMAPs friendly discoveries is here, in case you missed it. Now I have another few to share. First off, roasted nuts. These sweet maple roasted pecans taste like syrup covered pancakes. I don’t know how, but they are amazing. Up until last month, I would have told you pecans … Continue reading
Beans
I think a post on beans is due. This is not going to be super conclusive because I’m still not even sure about everything – all I can offer is my experiences thus far. Tofu is fine. Tempeh is fine. I don’t have to watch the ways I eat them usually unless it involves a … Continue reading
FODMAPs friendly family dinner
I just posted the recipes for this meal on my other blog. The (vegan, gluten free) menu: Stuffed Bell Peppers Creamed Corn Tomato & Avocado salad Chocolate Coconut Macaroons I had no GI issues whatsoever after this meal and everyone (vegan and non-vegans) enjoyed it, so I wanted to elaborate a bit on the FODMAPs … Continue reading
Nuts for nuts
Fact: I have been spending an embarrassing amount of $$$ on the gourmet nuts from the WF bulk bins. As a reader so brilliantly pointed out, these are pretty much the easiest thing to make. What took me so long to get my act together and make these? Who knows. But holy crap they … Continue reading
Free day
A few posts ago I mentioned that I do elimination days (no FODMAPs) when I am feeling kinda blah. I find they help my gut re-set itself after I’ve been less strict with monitoring my FODMAPs intake. A few too many days of a few too many FODMAPs is practically wiped clean with a solid … Continue reading
