First off, What ta heck is FODMAP.... a review of a previous blog.

Living with IBD/IBS is not an easy task at all and to be quite honest it is literally crappy. Recently, within the past few years researchers in Australia have been working with what they call the FODMAP diet. They found short-chain carbohydrates may not be properly absorbed during the digestive process. FODMAP is an acronym for Fermentable Oligo-, Di- and Mono-saccharides, and Polyols.

The researchers theory is that foods high in FODMAPs cause excessive gas, pain and bloating. Following a low FODMAP diet may help eliminate those symptoms in some people. 

This blog will examine this diet and provide some helpful hints as well some recipes. There is so many foods that are eliminated in this diet is can be quite tricky and discouraging to say the least. Bear with me and we will go on this journey together so this new lifestyle will not be so boring! :)

This is my view on the FODMAP diet and how I am making out following it and not. :) This is my disclaimer:
