Low-FODMAP Diet

I started Low-FODMAP Diet after dealing with heavy bleeding and exhaustion for months. By week 3 I noticed I felt a bit more like myself. At 12 weeks, I could function normally again. Very happy with the results so far.

Tried

Low-FODMAP Diet

After 8 weeks on Low-FODMAP Diet, I'd say it made a modest difference to my bloating and pain. The change was there but subtle. It might work for others but was modest for me.

Tried

Low-FODMAP Diet

My GP suggested Low-FODMAP Diet for my chronic pelvic pain. It took about 2 weeks to notice anything, but by week 10 I was sleeping through the night. It's not perfect but it's made a real difference.

Tried

Low-FODMAP diet

My gastroenterologist suggested a low-FODMAP trial because endo had affected my bowel. Within 3 weeks the bloating and bowel pain around my period reduced noticeably. It's quite restrictive and I did it properly with a dietitian. The improvements were real enough that I've kept it modified long-term.
