Those of us with irritable bowel syndrome now know that we can find our trigger foods by implementing the 3 stages of the low Fodmap diet. But what about all those food you have removed in the past on your journey to finding the correct way to do this? All those foods that you still exclude from your diet because of incorrect assumptions about the effect they have on your gut. The exclusion of which has caused you to become malnourished. Listen to my video to find out how to analyse the situation and the best way to reintroduce them into your diet.
The FAST TRACK to an IBS-Free Life
Thanks, Suzanne, for your video. I have eliminated many foods from my diet and am going to try reintroducing some back in. I’ve never heard of the IGE test. I will also check that out. I’m in Europe on a cruise and am watching my diet so very carefully. It’s not easy, but I don’t want any issues now. I will experiment when I get home.
Yes, do try to put back in the low Fodmap foods that you thought you reacted to. There’s no need to do an IgE test because you found your triggers with the low Fodmap diet reintroduction stage. I found eating on a cruise easy because I was very vocal about my needs. I have a video here on my cruise experience: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlpqgLFWYSs&t=35s
Very important to remind people of to reintroduce foods. I had a (bad) dietician and wasn’t eating any diary, eggs, nuts, or berries because of the IgG test. I ended up passing out from malnourishment and dehydration. I am doing way better now on medication and a “normal” IBS diet. Beware everyone — you need to eat! I still have some lasting effects due to this diet (extreme hair loss) but I feel way better since eating again.
Thank you for your comment. As you have experienced, it can be dangerous to take notice of these tests that eliminate a lot of foods from your diet. I am glad to hear how much better you are doing now.
Thank you Suzanne
This video was most interesting regarding introducing foods back into diet, as after a while I tend to eat a bigger serve of that particular food then tip the scale over then as you said, I leave it out altogether. I will have to bring out your list of recommended serve portions again. Breakfast cereals, are a problem as am told to eat more fibre as good for high cholesterol.
