Low Fodmaps

I recently started following low fodmap diet to help with tummy issues, it is challenging to only use low Fodmap foods and look for gluten free and lactose free food. It’s very time consuming and a lot of googling but I am enjoying learning a lot of new things about this way of eating. I already feel so much better and it’s only been a week. One of the biggest challenges I find is that I’m also trying to lose weight too and some of the best foods for me have a lot of calories like oils for example. I don’t want to stress about my food entries in this app but it is challenging.

    When I did fodmap, a few years ago, it wasn't gluten free? It excluded certain grains such as wheat. Has it changed, or are you avoiding gluten for other reasons?

    You are correct that gluten isn't the issue (it's a protein) for a low FODMAP diet. It's the sugars in wheat that can be problematic. It's also true that a lot of gluten-free products are not low FODMAP, so it's really important to pay attention to all ingredients.
