Low-FODMAP Diet

Low-FODMAP Diet helped somewhat with my IBS-like symptoms worsening with hormones — energy improved, though the weight didn't shift. It might work for others but was modest for me.

Tried

Low-FODMAP diet

My gastroenterologist referred me to a dietitian who supervised a 6-week low-FODMAP trial. The improvement in my IBS symptoms was remarkable — the bloating and cramping that had plagued me for a decade reduced by about 70%. I've now done the reintroduction phase and identified my main triggers (onion, garlic, wheat). Life-changing.
