Hey Friends. Thanks for watching. Looks like my description box is currently not loading properly for some users. KZfaq are working on fixing it but in the meantime here is the full description from the video. As always sending awesome vibes :) WHAT IS THE FODMAP DIET: The FODMAP diet is a 3 stage diet for people with IBS. It limits certain types of carbohydrates in your diet. “FODMAP” stands for: -Fermentable -Oligo-saccharides -Di-saccharides -Monosaccharides -And -Polyols What is the Science behind the FODMAP diet? Well, the problem is FODMAP carbohydrates are not absorbed in the small intestine. They pass through to the colon and get fermented by bacteria. This leads to all sorts of IBS symptoms like constipation, diarrhoea, wind, reflux, abdominal pain or that gurgling bubbly feeling in your tummy. That’s why having a low FODMAP diet might be a solution for some people who have IBS. Don’t freak out though! The low FODMAP diet does not cut out all carbohydrates from your diet. I will go through some of the foods you can and can’t eat later on in the video. Before we start, it’s really important that you see a qualified dietician before you try the FODMAP diet yourself. If you’ve seen a dietician and they’ve suggested you try a low FODMAP diet then this video is for you! I will break down the FODMAP diet for you so it’s easy to digest. FODMAP DIET FOODS: There are a lot of FODMAP foods you should limit in this diet! I’ve split them up into FOUR categories for you to make this as easy as possible! Category ONE: Oligosaccharides such as Fructans include foods like wheat, barley, rye, onion and garlic. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, sprouts, kale and turnips. Beans and pulses. Category TWO: Disaccharides like Lactose - this doesn’t mean giving up milk or yoghurt. You will switch to a lactose-free version of your normal dairy products so you don’t miss out on your calcium intake! Avoid processed cheese and low fat cheese too. Category THREE: Monosaccharides like Fructose - and no that doesn’t mean all fruit! However it does include honey, mango, sugar snap peas and fructose-based sweeteners. Category FOUR: Polyols like Manitol, Sorbitol or Xylitol that you might find in sugar free gum or sugar free mints. Stone fruits like plums and apricots should also be avoided. But what about carbs that you CAN eat on the FODMAP diet? For breakfast you can have Non-wheat cereals like puffed rice and corn flakes. Oats are still on the menu if you prefer porridge. You can still eat rice and potatoes - whichever types and cook them in any way you like. Other carbs you can eat include buckwheat, polenta and quinoa. Fruits and vegetables as a good source of carbs and that all important fibre. Try your best to avoid too much alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods and fatty foods. A full list of foods can be found at: healthpath.com/gut-health/nhs-fodmap-complete-guide/#chapter3 WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE: If you get to week 8 and there are no improvements then you should stop the diet and see your dietician for further advice. Of course this video wouldn’t be complete without red flags! If you experience any of these FOUR symptoms at any time then please see your healthcare professional for further advice! 1. Blood in your stools 2. Unexplained or sudden weight loss 3. Unexplained low iron levels - [ where you might start to feel more tired than usual] 4. Sudden change in symptoms - [such as diarrhoea or constipation getting suddenly worse.] STRESS RELIEF: Set aside time in your day to practice self-care to reduce your stress and anxiety levels as these could trigger IBS symptoms, www.nhs.uk/conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/understanding-stress/

Avoid things like alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, fatty foods... So all the foods and drinks I love? 😥😥

I just started this diet a week ago and it’s already made a huge difference! 👍🏼

I've been on the low FODMAP diet for over a year now. Something to consider about experiencing more fatigue than usual is that if, like me, you drank coffee on a regular basis, sudden fatigue COULD be a cause of no longer drinking coffee rather than a severe symptom. This was my case. After a couple weeks, the fatigue subsided because my brain began depending on natural chemicals to remain awake instead of caffeine.

Finally I found a video that actually explains in a good way what FODMAP is. Thanks so much 🙏

I am in the hospital with crohns flare right now. I need to do this. It was suggested and I was anti trying because I love broccoli and cauliflower and onions and garlic. So eliminating them completely bothered me. I am happy to know I can test to see if these things are even my triggers. Even if it takes time, it is worth it. Thank you so much!

I love how your addressing medical issues from a holistic perspective. Diet and exercise. Loved this video. And as usual you always make us feel proud to be a pharmacist 😇

I was eating FLOUR TORTILLAS , With REFINED *BLEACHED* PROCESSED FLOUR (my big mistake) Went cold TURKEY, went to corn tortillas gluten free I'm on the rebound, and DOING better at the other end (if you know what I mean😉)

underrated channel, YOU are a hidden gem

Major issue with this diet is that it’s only to stop symptoms. We need to start focusing on getting our diets back to normal. Possibly a new healthier normal but not having to avoid any food groups. Our bodies are incredible at healing if we give them the right tools. Great video but let’s change the direction of the discussion toward full recovery and not simply avoidance.

The temptation is to allow our minds to feel claustrophobic. I have spent too many years not trying to find the "always" foods and making sure they are the foundation of my diet. I have allowed perfection to make me exhausted and give up and just live with the pain and lethargy. I am gonna give it a good go now and begin to rebuild my diet. Buidling my baseline started today.

So basically don't eat.

Omg this video is such a blessing. I have two days off work so I’m gonna start doing this.

Thanks for the video. Good information. As far as the video production is concerned. I suggest you use a Lavaliere microphone. The echo in the Room detracts from your presentation.

Best explanation and yes...I saw what you did there!! Hah! You're a gift! Lisa

Like your video. I did the low fodmap diet. Had an application. It really works. It gave me confidense..

Yes yes yes yes thank I've been seeking what's wrong with me for years THANK YOU!!!

No Alcohol,, No Caffeine 😭😭😭😭 It's a cruel world!!!

1st viewer Very helpful and lovely video❤

Thanks for helpful video. You mentioned broccoli is in the list “to avoid” but following the link you’ve shared it is allowed. A bit puzzled.

I will start from today on and see what’s happening

Sick vid most informative one I’ve seen so far 🤩

Nice video Abraham keep growing my heartly wishes to you

Thank you for clarifying some information!!!😊😃😁

Thanks for this it is very useful for me😊👍🔥

I replace bread with cauliflower bread switching to Keto now no Cauliflower at all? OMG, I'm done.

Just got diagnosed with IBS and was told to start this diet, I’m at uni so I need to cook for myself and this was super helpful thank you! Is decaf coffee okay?

I like your all the videos very much as those are very informative and interesting. Please make a video on " How to get rid of spectacles and how should we take care of our eyes?" All the very best and keep it up sir 😊😊😍

This is helpful but could my anxiety be making things worse & not the foods. I have GAD so sometimes can't work out if its me or the food making me worse. I have a low appetite & even whilst not eating much still suffer IBS so wonder if its crackers (contains gluten) and soft drinks (oasis)

Excelent information!

Thank you for this video, very informative! Will try this diet and see hope it helps

Im 17 im 5ft 10 and about 13 stone and im getting really sad and not motivated, i would like a little advice or video to watch to loose about a stone.

Superb video as always. But i have one question.. can a gas problem cause backpain ?

i have a severe gluten intolerance and was suggested to also follow the FODMAP diet, i don’t know what i will even be able to eat at this point

Thank you for this info...I like the way you do it ...all the best...

Very clear, thank you

Great presenter but needs a less echoey room.

Hi Abraham :) excellent video very informative. Is the FODMAP diet suitable or advisable for gastroparesis? If not could you please make a video on gastroparesis? Many thanks

I suffer from IBS I am 81 years old....thanks you. :)

Bananas are in both lists 🧐 thank you for the video, very helpful

Excellent video, great job.

Im going to a physician this friday.... i know i have ibs but i pray i dont but then its terryfing to find out i dont and i have something else. I just want to cry now.... cuz i want to eat the food that i cant eat :(z

So I started the FODMAP died in 2019 I lost 30 pounds because I really limited myself I guess excessively. Then my Dietician said to add something back I added back gluten and I didn’t seem to have any problems although here we are in 2023 I have Sibo, and that diet is quite different than FODMAP in someways because it says that I should eat white bread, no fiber. I am going to see the dietitian again in May 2024, but I’ve gone through the rifaximin and the neomycin and the five map diets. I feel like nothings helping me. I’m going to go back real strict on the FODMAP again and see if there’s something new that is bothering me. Thanks for your informative video.

I cook low FODMAP menu every single day. I have fortunately good recipes!

Brilliant and thank you.

Great tips and useful information. I am following this diet

I have a question for your next video about the fodmap diet. Theres so much information online about foods you should and shouldnt eat. Some websites contridic themselves and its realy confusing. is there any way to clear that up? The monash univerity app is also confusing with little detail information about each food item.

I’m new to fodmap and Maybe this video can help. Thank you! Will save it

Awesome explanations :D

Appreciate the video. However the list attached is confusing. Several food items are listed on the "eat" and "not to eat"

you can’t eat mangos or pasta or bread, but you can have potatoes and rice????? THAT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL. why not just go out and have pizza and beer while you’re at it

Love these videos!

I suffer from Gastroparesis & can’t eat most of these foods. I am also never hungry, which is really hard.

Hi, this isn't related to the video but I have a quick question! In one of your videos about weight loss, you mentioned the Oxford Diet that employs using your hands as a measure of portion control. I really liked the video and tried searching up the diet online but couldn't find anything. Would you be kind enough to send me a link regarding where you got it and where the diet is sourced from? Kind Regards :)

Is it just me who's confused here banana is on both lists of can and can't eat ?

Awesome info!!!!!

Tank you for all this information 😘

Nice editing

Thank you.... God bless you....

This helped me understand this so much. My nutritionist did not explain it in as much detail as I would like.

Fuck man this sucks😢. I have IBS and I have start doing this. Fuck it change is needed

Could you make a video on how to reduce acne breakouts for teens?

For vegetarians lentils and beans are source of protein..if we will have to take it out of our diet, how will we cover our protein requirement?

Thanks, it is very useful 😉

Hmm, everywhere I look, kale and cabbage are extremely low fodmap and can be eaten as much as you like. Of course, if they do seem to cause issues, the individual should cut them out. But I've been having homemade and store bought sauerkraut just fine.

Can you eat lentils on the FODMAP diet? I have been diagnosed with IBS all of a sudden... will I ever be able to go back to a normal diet? Is IBS reversible?

What's the difference btw fodmap and low fodmap ?

Not garlic and onion 😭😭😭😭😩😩

Why should I avoid fatty foods if the IBS symptoms get triggered by carbs? So I can only drink liquid egg white and unflavored whey isolate and chicken breast/canned tuna or what?

Bro please make a video on how to improve focus and get into flow state?

It should be about substitution not restriction."Restriction" thinking sets us in diet-mode, telling the body food is scarce. The body will tell hunger hormones to rise and we will eat more and gain weight.

It's a long way. But worth it

Thanks so much, one question- does this diet work for GERD too?

Thanks 😊😊😊

So boiled rice is OK? I have always eaten it quite often.

On my way I’m ok no bloat or brian fog or keto or carnivore but then I start to feel like shit so need this video to eat the rite foods

Yes thank you very much that was very helpful. I have a couple questions, one even though cabbage is a no-no what about if it’s fermented as in sauerkraut or kimchi? Two don’t remember what you said about butter and what about ghee? Would he be better than better?

Really good dude

I'm an American. Is porridge part of the metric system?? 🥴

I'm very worry for my stomach problems plz tell me what i can for my gastic problems 😢

Does this work for ibs constipation aswell? Ngl tea and coffee help me go to the loo

Amazing vid fee helpful.

I get diarrhea every other day and I have no other health conditions. It's been going on for months now. I'm thinking I have to do this to find out what's causing the problem.

Oh God thank you 🙏🏾

In IBS-D can we. Eat raw carrot and cucumber as a salad?

I’ve recently started phase 1 under medical supervision. I’m wondering what to expect, i.e., does the body go into a natural detox and if so, what can that look like?

So many conflicting information online. Some things say don't eat bell peppers at all, some say just red, some say you can eat all. Some say lettuce us ok, some say not. Several other items with different answers 😩

Thank you so much

Thanx for such helpful vdo. I am 12 year old girl. I have dark circles under eyes so what shall I do?🥺Shall I use aloevera for my dark circles? Could you please tell.🥺Please sir please. Thanx for such good video😊

Great info- thank you. (Have to say though, I feel like you're yelling...)

It is very informative.. thank you so much.. i was just confused i found the banana on both list what u can and can't eat ..

Can you eat apples on the Fodmap diet? Are vinaigrette’s, “Renees”, on the Fodmap diet?

Avoid everything in life I like. Got it

What if I have history of bloating without pain or incontinence or reflux - just bloating?

Snap, so basically I should avoid tasty foods? 😢

Sir please tell me can I eat peanut butter aur not

Yeah I got the googly tummy bit and boy does FODMAP help. But my butt leaks what looks and acts like water every time I take a dump or when a dump is needing to come out but doesn't. Any takers? Bueller?

Wow

It's working, I'm at 7 weeks. It gets complicated without a dietitian though. Haven't got one yet

Abraham one question for you plz 🙏 answer me🙏. sweating hand.face.nose.leg and underarms .any medicine 🙏 ...
