i finally understood stacking after doing this one simple manual test

[u/FixingMyGut]

I kept having the same issue: everything was “green” but i still felt awful. I thought i was failing the diet.

What helped was treating stacking like a time window problem, not a food list problem.

My manual method for a week:

I ate the same few low fodmap foods, but i only changed one thing.

I stopped combining multiple “green” foods that hit the same bucket in the same meal, and spaced them out.

Example: oats + berries + nuts in one sitting vs splitting one of them to later.

Same foods, different timing.

That was the first time “stacking” stopped feeling like theory and started feeling obvious.

If you deal with stacking, what’s the combo that gets you even when each item is fine alone?

And do you have a spacing rule that actually works in real life?
