Best to your Heather! Do your best to space out your meals–3-4 hours apart if possible. This can really help SIBO sufferers!

I am beginning this week on a low fodmap diet. It is a little overwhelming. So glad I have found your blog. Thank you for the tips for beginners.

Hi Deanne, I like my checklist linked here: https://blog.katescarlata.com/fodmaps-basics/fodmaps-checklist/ and the Monash app. Up to date and works!

I see so many lists out there and they aren’t all the same. Is there ONE good list I can refer to? Also, thank you SO much for the mint/gum tip.

It’s ok on some lists but not others. How about peas? I don’t like too many veggies and I seem to be eating green beans all the time!

Yes…always take a gander at the label ingredients!

I had found a breakfast marmalade that was fine, then over a week or two found I was getting pain again and finally tracked it down to the marmalade which had changed its recipe and had fructose syrup as the first ingredient. So now I check labels that were OK last week, but might not be this week …
Makes shopping so very slow, but keeps the pain away.

Phil, the sugar free Glee varieties have sugar alcohols so would not be suitable. The bubble gum and peppermint look good. The sugar variety has 2 grams sugar per 2 pieces–not much!

Thanks!

I’m on the challenge phases now but even through the elimination phase, they were one of the few of my favorites I didn’t have to give up. I hope this helps others searching for mints and gums. BTW, my gastroenterologist advised me against gum at all because you’re chewing and not sending any food down…It’s basically swallowing air which can build up in the gut and cause discomfort too.
