@Graeme (can't reply double-nested): I just found it to be very bland, boring and depressing. Chicken and rice, rice and chicken, tuna, rice crackers, blah. Go to the printer room in your office and start chewing on the printer paper/some cardboard in there. That's about how tasty the FODMAP diet is after about a week. It's even harder socially when you are restricted from basically everything on the menu. I guess your mileage may vary but those are my personal thoughts. I did Low FODMAP for about 2 months and by necessity (staying out of the urgent care/emergency room), not really by choice.
- graeme 12y agoOk, interesting. I eat paleo, and I seem to unintentionally eat low fodmap. Sauerkraut and some onions are the only ones I eat regularly. I checked the wikipedia list. But not much rice. I eat a lot of local, pastured meats, sweet potatoes, much coconut oil for cooking and seasonings, so it doesn't seem bland. I find chicken very bland and would have trouble eating it more than a few times per week. Used to have digestive upset, though in my case I'm not convinced FODMAPS had anything to do with it (like I said, unintentionally low fodmap). Nightshades seemed to have the greatest correlation for me.
