Looking at the foods here, not sure it's counter to what we've considered a healthy diet. Legumes would be about the biggest exclusion on the generally healthy list. The low FODMAP food list doesn't look too restrictive at all though ?

Lots of what you'd want from a healthy diet is on it, but, if you try to prepare a meal with varied ingredients, you'll rapidly find that it still has plenty of (sometimes surprising and unexpected) exclusions. Well, maybe that's just me; I find the idea of leaving fruit and onions out of my diet difficult even to conceive.

  but if the fermenting sugars in fruit and onion give you incredibly painful ibs, would you try it for a couple weeks to see if symptoms go away. a low fodmap diet is a diagnostic tool.

  It's definitely not just you. I had a hell of a time building a low FODMAP menu because of the restrictions. We ended up eating very basic meals consisting of some meat, plain salted rice, and some approved veggie.
