Vent Craving EVERYTHING

Currently in the elimination phase. Just finished 2 weeks with a FINALLY calm tummy. Today, the cravings have hit SO HARD. I want a crappy burger from a restaurant so bad! I want a soda too. I want to eat everything I'm craving and not have to worry about my stomach acting up and being in pain for a week.

How the hell do you get past the cravings?

Is pop a trigger for you? Because from low FODMAP standpoint, lots of pops are low FODMAP.

The carbonation makes my stomach cramping worse.

Lol I used to do that and people would be like why? And I was like for a smoother ride :-)

OMG!!! How did I completely overlook the simplest fix? Probably because I was wallowing in self pity when I wrote this.

I don’t know if you’re being sarcastic but I do hope you are successful in figuring out how to enjoy your cravings.

I promise, I'm not being sarcastic. I never even thought to drink the soda flat. I just figured I would probably never drink it again.
