I’ve just started on an elimination diet with the help of a very enthusiastic dietician. Already I have noticed a difference. I have list of foods that I can eat and NOT eat and so far found it easy to keep to. Let’s hope I found the answer to running to the loo every 20 mins, 3,4,5 times before heading off to work.

Hi Jo i will buy one off you xxx. Spoke to Kings College, they are for dietitions, well im trying it off my own back at the moment,(FODMAPS) even though its very complicated and the docs are not helping me, i might get malnutrition and die but just maybe the ibs will go.

Here is a link to a great little chart this outlines what foods to avoid and what foods are good to eat. Hope this helps. It has certainly helped me.

Just looked at the leaflets on Kings College, I guess the reason they sell them in packs of 10 is for dieticians… maybe I’ll buy 10 of one, and sell the other 9 to make my money back! How annoying…

Umm, having exactly the same thoughts. Too think that fruit and veg was meant to be good for you, I live on, the stuff and fish. What else can be eaten??? !!! Would be glad of any suggestions please!

Hi wendy yeh, let us know if you get any good info. I too just dont know if i can eat anything, even the ‘safe’ stuff seems a problem .And docs who say ‘well it can be psychological ‘ should sit next to my personal wind farm with enough gas to power a small village and tell me then that im imagining it. Oh and dietitions who say eat more cereal, do you REALLY need a degree for that??
I have rung Kings College London today as on their website they have 3 booklets about FODMAPS that links to a purchase page, but you have to buy 10, i only want one, am waiting for a e-mail to find out if i can get one of each. I have tried to start the diet on my own with lots of improvement but keep making mistakes, it seems so complicated but also makes so much sence. Does anyone know where else you can get them??

Umm, Claire, I don’t mean to be offensive – but daily or weekly bouts of bloating, farting, burping, indigestion, heartburn, constipation, diarrhoea and serious hospitalising pain, sometimes all at once – yes – even constipation and diarrhoea simultaneously – will never be fixed by maintaining an unstressed life and “eating right”. I’ve learned to leave out all raw fruit and vegies, fake sweeteners, fruit and vegie skins, seeds, nuts, whole grains – what’s left – I’ve no idea, I’m going to hear a dietician speak about it on the 8th April and might have to buy the recipe book. And the lollies.

I agree with Lucy and Confused a list of the things that one can eat would be good.

Looking into the possibility that i have fructose Mal-absorption on top of Celiac’s. Dr. Shephards web site did not help at all. If anyone finds an article of the FODMAP diet i would be interested in reading it.
