Low FODMAP food plan for me till mid April.

Chicken not quite tagine, pesto polenta

Having done FODMAP a few times, my condolences.

it's a bit of a pain but with some planning i've been surprised at how many nice things can be had. Gluten free bread isn't as horrible as i'd assumed. Non-dairy milks can be OK to some degree.

I need to get to the bottom of the gut issues so this is just life right now i guess.

Take care Blown2CV - live vicariously through these threads, and touch wood sorted/triggers identified etc. Not me, but went through similar with my wife - over time she could re-introduce certain food groups without issue - Mushrooms (which we used to have in everything) are still a no-no for her - and now replaced with Courgette.

Above plate - I'd say looks good !!

I feel your pain… I’ve been suffering for well over 3 years now. Original doctor just said IBS and gave me a pile of FODMAP stuff. I spent best part of a year cutting everything out and gradually adding it back in, one food group at a time. All to no avail.

IBS is just bullst… it’s not a diagnosis, just a term chucked around when they don’t know what’s wrong and it’s too much work to find out.

The inflammation in my major joints got so bad I eventually went back and got referred to a gut specialist a couple of months back. I’d worked out what was wrong myself by then, but she wanted make sure I didn’t have any intolerances… so I’ve just completed the fructose and lactose tests and both were fine… but both supported the self diagnosis.

I’m back next week for the next consultation… I already know I have SIBO, so I’m expecting a course of antibiotics and hopefully some improvement at last.

If you haven’t already, go google SIBO. Id never heard of it until I stumbled across a YT video whilst researching… turns out its pretty common and also relatively easy to diagnose.

yea IBS is just "we don't know what it is". I've had that sort of thing for maybe 8 years. The NHS have been consistently ste, sadly. I've had to pay privately for anything that has got me closer to the cause.

Anyway I'll deffo have a look at SIBO cheers!

If I could have made any bet, it’d have been you popping along to correct me

Go on, give us a proper one!

Soaked and steamed? Lovely texture with a bit of chew and...... easier to eat with chopsticks which is why most asian countries use it. Couple of peas wouldn't go amiss

Soaked and, errr, hobbed. Obviously I’ve eaten it before but never cooked. as easy as rice, surprisingly! Will use it more for Asian dishes. I like to stay authentic, do they have peas in mongolia????

I jest, obviously you know what you're on about and that curry you posted was bang on.

This was very similar to what I done. I added a pepper, so I could bulk it out for lunch too (only 150g of beef in it).

Haha yeah it’s all good. Yes very similar. Always good to add some veg in these things. Decent recipe
