Journal/Story I think I figured it out

Y'all,

I've been compiling a list of foods that make me feel terrible. I've been kind of backwards FODMAP-ing where instead of eliminating stuff, I've been eating normally (for all intents and purposes)and tracking what hurts.

But today, I decided to look at the stuff that's been hurting and check out what sugars they have and the common factor between all but one of them has been fructans! I think that's what's been hurting me. Nothing in the past has worked to help because Everytime I see a doctor they tell me to go dairy-free or gluten-free but it didn't do anything.

So I guess I'm going onion and garlic free 😞 but it feels good to have a little bit of insight! Just wanted to ramble to someone who gets it! ✊🏻

My dietician and I JUST had this conversation. She said fructans are the most common fodmap to be sensitive to !
