IBS affects over 11% of the global population, (that’s one in every 9 people you meet!!) so let’s not be embarrassed about it! I want this channel to be a safe, open and kind place for people dealing with IBS. We’re far from alone, so let’s ask questions, share advice and feel better together xx
▽ What are FODMAPs?
The term FODMAP is an acronym, derived from "Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols”. They are short carbohydrates found in lots of healthy foods, which the bacteria in your intestines will break down, producing gas in the process.
For unclear reasons, some people are particularly sensitive to this and experience painful and embarrassing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, constipation and fatigue. FODMAP restriction has been found to improve symptoms in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID).
▽ What is a Low-FODMAP Diet?
The Low-FODMAP diet usually involves carefully cutting the down the amount of FODMAPs you consume over a day and at one time for 2-6 weeks until your symptoms resolve or at least become manageable. Then you “re-challenge” each type of FODMAP individually to see how sensitive you are to them. Thankfully most people can tolerate some or all of the FODMAPs at certain levels or combinations.
▽ Is it forever?
NO! From this feedback, you can reintroduce foods in a way that won’t set off your symptoms. Your tolerance will likely improve over time, so you can always retest foods when you feel up to it.
▽ Resources For Vegan Low-FODMAPers
These are some two things I’ve found to be invaluable since starting the low-FODMAP diet.
The first is the official app* from The Monash University. It’s the easiest and most up-to-date way to check what foods are A-okay and how big your portion size can be. Measurements come in grams, as well as "cups", which is great as a brit!
itunes.apple.com/us/app/monas...
The second is the ONLY vegan cookbook* I’ve found among the masses of meat-filled low-FODMAP ones. Admittedly it's not totally my style of cooking but it has been a great inspiration and it is very informative.

Thirdly, the lowFODMAP vegan stock cubes make cooking sooooo much easier! And they don’t cost more than normal ones either, woop. amzn.to/2NuT93f

Great video Carrie and a really interesting concept. It's also great to see your recipe ideas again. I'm in a bit of a rut doing the same recipes on rotation as I know that my gut won't react, but I feel I'd like to change this up a bit. I'm going to give this a try. We just got our organic veg box this morning so that's going to get me started. So lovely to see you back doing youtube videos.

I loved this video Carrie. I've been reading a lot about getting plenty of variety recently, particularly when it comes to fibre and the gut microbiome. It's great to see how relatively easy it is to achieve. I really felt for you with your sad portion of persimmon, I came across so many discrepancies like this in the Monash app that I just stick to the weighed portion in grams now.

Great video idea :) Ironically going low-fodmap has inspired me to eat more variety of veg, including things I thought I wasn't keen on or never tried (like celeriac, its good as a filler in soups). You are so lucky to have a partner who is happy eating the same diet as you! My boyfriend hates most vegetables, so we have to cook separate meals or I have veg on the side, and no-one to share the extra with once i've taken my little low fodmap portion :(

Welcome back, Carrie! How lovely to see and hear you again :) I first learned about it on the Deliciously Ella podcast a few weeks ago and mentioned it to my husband who said no way it's possible to eat such a variety of plants (lofo or not). Ha! Challenge accepted :D I started counting and including nuts and seeds we were done by the afternoon of day 2 without any tummy issues. Yay for variety🥳 And yes, chard (or kale - green, black) are like carrots, potatoes or oats: I have never eaten so much of either as to reach my personal FODMAP limit. Another yay for intestinal hiccup-free foods 💚

Great inspiration, thank you! As for that persimmon - I believe you’re eating a hachiya, whereas the Monash app has the amount for a fuyu (I’m basing it purely off of looks). Hachiya looks to be about the size that you’re holding, but the fuyu is more squat - wider than it is tall. you can cut your persimmon into a fresh snack, and blend the other bit into a pudding (I think I do 1 whole fruit + cinnamon +

I was so pleased to see this video focussing on the low FODMAP diet. I have been on the Low FODMAP diet for getting on for three years & sometimes feel very alone. Obviously people have different degrees of sensitivity. In my experience, Spring Onions & Leeks & Broccoli are a complete No No. What you need to understand with Spring Onions is that you can only have the parts that are green all the way through, most of the green part has a white layer inside & this will cause problems, if you are sensitive. It is really hard for me as I also have to keep my diet very low in carbs' due to diabetes & have other sensitivities. My problems are due to having extensive gut surgery. I used to eat a lot of vegan food, full of beans, onion, etc but cannot do that now. It is also more difficult if you live alone & on a limited income. If you live alone & can only use a little of something per day you can end up wasting a lot of food as it goes off before you can finish it. For example it would take me eight days to eat an avocado. However I have managed to create some enjoyable recipies & also I have discovered recently that I can have felafels although they have onion in. Onion in a stew would have me running for the toilet but the dense dry texture of felafels slows down everything. I make crustless vegetable quiches with layers of Baby Spinach, Fines beans, thinly cut Carrots & different coloured Peppers & lactose free cheddar. I make Nutty Quinoa stuffed into Red Peppers flavoured with Tamari. I make Mediterranean Chicken with Tomatoes & Olives & Garlic Infused Olive Oil (the type from Morrisons seems to be O.K. & their hummus seems to be O.K. too). I make mixtures in bowls for breakfast & lunch that might include a few Walnuts, a boiled Egg or Egg Mayonnaise, Lettuce or Baby Spinach / Pak Choi, slices of Tomato, a little cooked Quinoa, some Pumpkin & Sunflower Seeds, a few Olives, Some Cubes or spoonfulls of Lactose Free Cheese or soft cheese, a little ham or prawns, a few Radishes, fresh herbs etc. You are right, variety is the name of the game. All the best.

Interesting. I'm vegan too. Don't have IBS but Crohn's so some fodmaps don't bother me and some non-fodmap foods do! Most are best to avoid though. I do't eat any legumes but maybe I need to try some in small portions like you do... AS far as variety goes, I try to eat 30 a day - I usually miss out by about 5 but I would be surprised if I don't make those 5 up at least over the week. There are so many options out there and I think when on a low fodmap diet this is soooo important.

@JonasStuart 3 жыл бұрын

@@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject I do like to eat as similar meals as possible as life is busy so there's not a load of variation day to day (but it's super easy!) but yes, sushi once a week, varying fruit/veg selection etc would make up for it. I should record it all for a couple of weeks and see what number I get up to. I generally have a smoothie for breakky, then some cereal with chia or flax and maple S, then baked spuds/sweet potatoes and simple salad for lunch and brown rice with a variety of sautéed veg for dinner then a couple of snacks such as multi-grain bread, buckwheat pancakes or waffles and we're up to about 25.When I heard about the 30 a week number my goal was to get to that each day so I'm close!

@victoriamuir8988 3 жыл бұрын

Here has been my greatest problem in eating this way...food waste due to portion control. If I open a can of lentils or butter beans, for example, I have to eat those items until they’re gone or throw them out because they’ve gone bad. I live alone and couldn’t possibly eat the variety of food that I would like.

@CarrieGill_TheWildGutProject 3 жыл бұрын

I completely see how that would be an issue! Especially with things like leeks when you can only have the top half. Have you had much luck freezing individual portions of things/meals? I'm wondering if something like an ice tray would work to freeze 1/4 cups worth of lentils for example - just an idea though haha
