Acceptable FODMAP Food List

     Basically, I have found everyone's list of FODMAP foods are different and lots of them contradict each other.  This can be quite troublesome and confusing for newbies like myself. My first suggestion is to find a dietitian in your area that is qualified in this area and don't be surprised if you can not find one because this is a fairly new diet.  The link below is the list of foods that I feel works best for me. The bottom line is that we all have to do our homework and keep a food diary and work with your doctor(s). What might work for you may not work for someone else. Don't get discouraged. This is not an easy road and I did not start to feel better for a few weeks. It has taken about a month for me to feel truly awesome enough to go out and try new things in life. That being said it was well worth this sacrifice!
