So I'm new to the community and I've been having trouble finding enough food to eat in order to maintain a low FODMAP diet while getting enough calories in order to maintain going to the gym. Mostly I just feel tired and if I stray from a low fodmap diet, bloated. Can anyone lend me some eating advice?

    Just eat more of what you can eat?

    There are a range of grains, lots of protein options, safe fruit and vegetables, oils, some cheese/dairy.

    Plenty to make calorie dense meals with a good macro split.

    Sure it'll be time consuming, and it might be boring, but elimination diets generally are...

    A low fodmap diet is only meant to be followed for a few weeks so you can identify your trigger foods.
    I did it with the help of a qualified dietician. I did lose weight on it (unintentionally) in the early stages.
    If you're not already doing so,I'd recommend getting advice from a dietician if that's possible. There are also a couple of really good apps such as the Monash one which give guidance.
