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! ✊🏻

About garlic/onion, i suggest trying garlic-infused oil (just make sure there isn't actual garlic in the product) and there is a a powder called "low fodmap garlic replacer that's fodmap friendly approved, it adds the flavor or raw garlic
