Morning everyone ,
I have been told by GP to try the low fodmap diet which some of you have successfully tried .
it’s a minefield trying to get the ingredients together so I’m working on the ones I know .
the problem I have is trying to put weight on and this diet limits a lot of my calorie intake .
has anyone successfully achieved this ?
many thanks

Hi Chrissie49 ,
I haven’t actually followed a fodmap diet, from what I understand it’s quite straightforward although pretty restrictive.
I do understand what you mean about a lot of the foods being low calorie though. Having had a quick look at a fodmap food chart maybe try & bulk your meals out with root veg & potatoes, these will be higher in calories, also gluten free bread, rice & fodmap friendly cheeses will all be more calorie dense.
I’m not sure how much advice or information your GP gave you so if you haven’t already take a look at this link, it may be helpful, it gives an example menu too.
