It’s been a few weeks since I started on the Low FODMAP™ diet (previously).
During that time, I threw out all products which I can’t eat and replaced them with things I can. I’m not being as good as I could be, as I’m yet to be able to cut down on the volume of sweet I eat. However, the sweets I am consuming have no wheat products in them or are made from any of the banned substances – they’re just high in glucose.
So far the results are promising. I’m experiencing few of the symptoms I had been, and I’m looking forward to a continued reduction as the weeks go on.
As I have interest from a number of people on the diet and what sort of things can and can’t be eaten/drunk, I finally got around to scanning in the documents which were provided by Miranda, and here they are:
edit: It has been requested by Terry from Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust that I remove these documents because, and I quote
…these resources were intended to be used between patient and healthcare practitioner and we would not wish them to be used without adequate training on this particular dietary therapy or to be used by those who may have underlying conditions or comorbidities which might need to be considered before switching to such diets
Never wanting to put people at risk, I have honoured this request. When they release the information pack they’re promising, I’ll provide a link here.
