Fodmap Diet

So has anyone heard of the the FODMAP diet? My niece is now put on it because her GI doctor told her that a lot of people are mis-diagnosed with celiac when really they have a sensitivity to fructose and other sugars. Basically you have to limit high fructose fruits like apples and pears and other sugars like lactose, raffinose (beans), and wheat (but not all gluten). I'm still so confused being new to the gluten-free diet. I see my GI on Thursday and am wondering if he'll put me on that diet BUT I don't want to try gluten again quite yet. ANY THOUGHTS OUT THERE?

Hi LCotter,

Can you tell us why you are on the gluten-free diet? Is it because you were diagnosed with celiac or your doctor suggested it to treat another condition? That would really determine what kind of diet you should be on. If you are diagnosed with celiac then I don't think the FODMAP will be an option for you as it doesn't restrict gluten completely.

GLuten and dairy give me D and C but I still get bloated, occasional D, and gas sometimes. He thinks that it maybe the sugars in beans, fruit, etc. I think its because my intestines haven't fully healed and I was eating beans and dairy way too soon in my gluten-free diet. Maybe I should see another doctor? Any suggestions?

Hi. :)

Thank you for the link to the article on FODMAP, I found it interesting.

My suggestion would be to keep a food journal that tracks the foods you have eaten and tracks your physical, emotional and mental responses, also keep your diet simple in the beginning so that when you add a new food in you can see how it makes you feel. Keep in mind your reaction may not be immediate and this is why a journal can be so helpful because you can go back and see if there is a pattern.

But perhaps you are already doing this. :)

Or is your question is "should I follow the FODMAP diet and not the Gluten free diet?"

It takes time and perhaps you are right about introducing too many beans too soon.

My doctor thinks that I might be having reactions to the fructose in just wheat and other types of sugars but I don't want to try gluten again just for this reason. I've been doing a lot better off gluten. I do keep a food journal and it seems that I have gas and or D when I have eaten beans, lactose, or sugar free products. Could this just be because my gut is senstive and healing? I guess that is my question. Thanks again for all the help out there!!

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Jason Dyer · Posted

      Trents, It's a good question. The experts I have spoken to have told me the distillation process does remove the offensive proteins. Again, I'm not the expert on that. I'm only reporting. I don't have any issue with distilled spirits that don't have any additives. That said, maybe there is something else at play here? Good question for the forum.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By trents · Posted

      I'm wondering if this is the same issue some celiacs have with distilled liquors. The complete gluten molecule is too large and heavy to to travel up with the vapor but if their are gluten fragments created by the heat, they may not be and the immune systems of some celiacs still recognize it as gluten. I have no scientific proof for this, just a thought because we have so many forum contributors who still react to these "gluten removed" products.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      Thanks, Scott and Trents. Scott, tastes vary of course. The metallic taste may just be me. As to the filtration efficacy, I can only add that the micron level to remove a smaller protein chain must be pretty tight. What about the impact of hydrolization on the R5 test? I've been told it presents a challenge. Trents, thanks for the clarification. I did not draw this distinction, but can. I honestly didn't perceive the nuance.  Appreciate the feedback from you both.

      Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted. It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      Could this be Celiac disease?

      By Chissers · Posted

      Thank you for your prompt reply. Have others experienced LUQ and L sided back pain when on gluten? Could gluten be irritating the pancreas to cause the slight rise in lipase?
