I’ve had IBS diagnosed about 8 years ago but had no proper guidance as to how to proceed. I’ve had IBS symptoms as long as I can remember and it was put down to ‘ate too much or too spicy, too rich etc’. Just avoided some obvious foods and got on with life! Recently discovered lots of channels giving lists of Fodmap foods and diets which helped a bit. Your channel is God Sent and just discovered today! It was a complete discussion and explained thoroughly what the different issues are and I have understood it very well. For eg- spicy curries causing problems doesn’t mean it’s the chillies causing the problem and could be the onions and garlic. Also eating too much fibre which I did, sometimes 10 portions. Thank you so much for this video. I’m absolutely delighted to gain the correct knowledge on how to deal with my issues. I’m dealing with weight issues mostly due to eating the wrong foods and resulting bloating, gas and water retention. I’m sure I’ll find my way out of this problem. Thanks once again. Subscribed.

I absolutely agree with the statement that quantity or combination can be the problem. In September I decided that table sugar and the sugary processed items from the grocery store was the cause of my arthritic inflammation. So I decided to convert to artificial sweeteners and those that were considered healthy sweeteners like Stevia and erythritol. I purchased a bunch of packet sweeteners that contained Stevia, erythritol, and monk fruit. After about two weeks, I had an area of inflammation that sent me to the ER. CAT scan confirmed it was not diverticulitis, just inflammation. I had another bout in mid October and another in November, all different areas of my abdomen, but clearly intestinal. Now its December and I have diverticulitis with a fever. I was using this sweetener in my coffee as well as buying many items from the store that were no-sugar products; like pancake syrup sweetened with Xylitol, and a protein drink sweetened with erythritol, etc. I was heavily invested in my no-sugar rule! What I was not aware of is that sugar alcohols from these artificial sweeteners were basically GI suicide. Hot beds of sugar now in my intestines that bacteria feed off of. I don't even have to do the FODMAP procedure because I was free from diverticulitis for well over five years. I'm confident that if I rid myself of these artificial sweeteners, or at least reduce my daily use of them, that my gut will return to normal again. I'm positive that I've had these same sweeteners in my diet before because the protein drink was something that I've had pretty much daily for many years without any problem. Adding a boat-load of artificial sweeteners to my died was disastrous!

Thanks a millions, You are the only one explained a proper fodmap diet, I think they deserve to be appreciated... Greatfull for this

I definitely have IBS and being tested now for Sibo. Thanks for making these videos. I did see a gastroenterologist. I don’t eat dairy or meat. Well the only meat that I eat on occasion will be chicken and fish. I’m in pain every day I need to having issues with diarrhea or constipation. I can’t wait to get to the bottom of this thing have a normal life again.

Haven't Monash significantly reduced recommended safe levels for strawberries, grapes and tomatoes recently after doing a retest? I'm pretty sure they are not safe to eat freely any more.

The FODMAP diet help me a lot to overcome my weight loss. I thought I was about to die. I lost 20 quilos and was very sick and weak. However, I noticed that my digestive problems were caused by the chlorine used to treat tap water. Watch the levels of chlorine in your region. I now test these levels whenever I travel somewhere in this world.

Although medical professionals are much more aware of a holistic approach to all sorts of problems than they used to be, my impresison is that there is still a tendency to compartmentalise, as with the stress on distinguishing between gluten free and fructane free. In the case of what is not very precisely dubbed "IBS" it is quite possible I think that someone may suffer from alergenes-gluten sensitivity AND have IBS. In my case, I myself seem to be very histamin intolerant, have a high Ige count, low diaminoxidase but all my symptoms seem to be those which fit in with IBS-D. I recommend that people find out what their special horror triggers are, because people are very different, (red wine doesnt hit me the way it is supposed to hit histamin sensitive people) -mine are breads, tomatoes, beer champagne and most sauces. Im getting the impression that tomatoes are the worse things of all for me. Also never forget the "faithful three"-white rice, potatoes and carrots. These three are great,are gentle on the digestion of nearly everyone. I especially stress carrots because I personally have not heard of anyone who has a carrot problem -whats more in these times of inflation carrots dont cost very much. Take care to peel carrots maybe. They get all sorts of contaminates on their skins.

Thanks a lot

The video was so helpful! I cook low FODMAP menu every single day. Fortunately I have good recipes!

Thank you. You efforts are much appreciated.

ALL carbs affect my son. He has the CONSTIPATION type of IBS with occasional, but a massive ammount of involuntary incontinence from all the backed-up poo.

I am in month four of this IBS ordeal. Thank you for the excellent source of information

Whole Foods has sourdough spelt bread in Seattle.

My UC was diagnosed at Taunton Hospital in 1992!

This looks to be very informative. I know nothing of the FODMAP process.

8:28 Fodmaps

I have partial hearing, I would suggest that the sound quailty needs to be improved in future videos. Also it would be better if links where given in the description.

Very helpful video! Are the french beans you mentioned the same veg as runner beans? Would you advise the use of probiotics? Thank you.

Game changer for Psoriasis the fodmap diet

👏🏽

Has anyone just decided to removecall gluten and see what happens? Much less complicated and sure it can cause these problems?

Dietetic Assistants can also give basic dietary advice not just dietitians.

If you get bloating, even shortly after you wake up before food, could this still be IBS ?

Sadly some gluten - free cakes in the supermarket contains fructose syrup...

😓 p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶

a comment , since no one can certify if you have ibs just ibs symptoms, i can eat potatoes , carrots , eggs ....can't find gluten free bread , so i use sourdough i'm not about to cook a special diet , it has to be available at the store. gluten free not supported much at all by the grocery

My doctors literally couldn’t give a shit about my iron levels. They literally were like oh well she must be lying about what she eats let’s pump her full of infusions

Too long and too little information. Could have been condensed into a 20-30 minute seminar with more organisation. They spent the first 7 minutes telling us to seek medical help.

There is too much conversation. Can you get to the point! What are the low fodmap foods!

I cant believe youre still saying its ok to eat gassy vegetables like broccoli and also sweetcorn when each little kernal creates an internal war zone for ibs sufferers...

I am new and from the USA and I also wearing hearing aids and I am having a real problem understanding the 3 ladies giving the advice. They need to talk slower please so we can catch up with the speaking.
