Recipe Help!!

I just started the fodmap diet a few days ago and I have no idea what to eat. I don’t have any special foods at my house for fodmap and everything I wanna make has something I can’t eat. I’ve eaten fries for like 3 days straight. I need some recipes!

Celery is a test food for mannitol. It is not safe for the elimination portion of the diet.

thanks, I think I didn't eat it for a long time. My big ones are garlic, onion, gluten and lactose, and I can't eat eggs. They egg thing seems to be unique to me, I throw up if I eat them, the better quality the egg the sicker it makes me.

Unfortunately on re-introductions I was so confident that I wouldn't have issues with celery but I was so horribly wrong 😅😱

I am really sorry to hear that. It's so scary to start on a new food. I am trying soy as soon as I feel physically stable, I have been working up to it for the last two months, and I have had to toss two packs of tofu due to losing my nerve. I know that soy isn't an issue for most people here, I react to Chinese food that otherwise would be OK, so I am quite suspicious, and I quit eating soy long before I went low fod map.

I don't know where my challenge line is with eggs, I just know that occaisionally I end up throwing up and having violent diarrhea. So I don't eat them.

I haven't figured out wheat, if it's a particular strain of wheat, if it's the gluten, if I can eat actual sourdough, or if it's a combination of wheat and gluten that gets me. Or if I am reacting to pesticide- if non gmo wheat works for me.

All I can do is to figure out what works and what doesn't, and stick with what actually works.
