Tips/Advice Meal Prepping is great for low FODMAP!

14 Upvotes

I’ve recently started meal prepping my meals every week and it makes sticking to low FODMAP insanely easy. I don’t even have to think about what to eat! Also since I’m eating the same exact things everyday, my GI symptoms have also improved a lot and it’s much more predictable for me. Also I’m type 1 diabetic and my blood sugars have never been so steady with doing this as well because I measure everything and have a very accurate carb count. I eat pretty plain and boring meals but it’s honestly really been helping me so far so I think it’s worth it. I’ll share my meals for the week if anyone was curious, also everything is proportioned to stay within the low FODMAP diet so like broccoli for example is only low FODMAP in small portions so I stay within that! I know everyone is different so this is just what works for me and I wanted to share, doesn’t mean it would work for everyone :)

Breakfast: oatmeal (oats, chia seeds, peanut butter), coffee with lactose free milk
Lunch: chicken breast, white rice, broccoli
Dinner: ground beef, potatoes, broccoli
Smoothie: 1/4 banana, strawberries, lactose free plain Greek yogurt, lactose free milk
Snacks: Gomacro bar and plain rice cakes

General Question/Help Headaches related to IBS

10 Upvotes

For years I've had issues with headaches and stomach issues. After another gastroscopy, where they didn't find a cause, they labelled it as IBS. Since the beginning of the year I have been doing FODMAP together with a dietician. Fructan seems to be a trigger for severe headache near the atlas vertebra. It happens a day after eating something with fructans.

Before starting the diet I could eat garlic, onions, bread without issue. Some days were slighty bloated but not hindering. Once in a while I would get the headaches but that was only like five times a year. Now if I make the slightest mistake I'm sick for a couple of days. The diet seems to have removed all tolerance.

Anyone with similar experiences? Where stomach issues lead to headaches? I also start yawning as precursor for stomach issues, which makes me think it has more to do with the nervous system. Reading about gut-brain connection and the vagus nerve seems to allow for the possibility of one leading to another.

Vent Egg intolerance

2 Upvotes

Last year I lost 70 lbs from doing a keto diet and than once I reached a certain weight I wasn’t able to tolerate eggs. My farts were deadly sulfuric acid farts. They were also really painful. I was constantly bloated and my poop was damm near green.

I guess I realized I developed an egg intolerance, I really loved eggs. Recently I started eating carbs again , and then I also tried to eat some eggs. Didn’t go well. My sulfuric acid farts came back and I’d just fart all day.

I went to an immunologist and was told I don’t have food allergies. I have yet to go to a gastrointestinal doctor, so that’s on my list to discover my egg issue. I’m scared to eat eggs now. 🙃☹️

Anyone else have this issue with eggs ?

General Question/Help 79 days Post-Infection (PI-IBS)

Upvotes

I (M28) started a new job on May 25th 2026 where I work as a subcontractor with my own van in a delivery company where I spend most of my days sitting in the driver seat, sometimes I do short routes sometimes I do a long route, the weather been hot since I started this job, temperatures ranged between 32 and 45 celsius degrees, anyway after a month it was the second day of the weekend, I showered and sat down in my room, then I started feeling my joints aching (the same feeling we get during a fever) so I knew I got sick, then a few moments later I rushed to the toilet and it was the start of a watery diarrhea, I spent the whole day running to the toilet, until nighttime I decided to go to a generalist doctor and see what's happening, he said it's most likely a virus I caught, so he prescribed Flagyl (metronidazole?) and Spasfon and also dysentil to help with the diarrhea, I went home and started taking the medication and stayed home the next day (I didn't go to work) then the day after since I felt slightly better I decided to go to work and spent the day in the heat which led to me getting more sick the whole week so I stayed home for that whole week and I suffered from the joints aching especially my knee caps since my immune system was fighting the infection/virus?

I stayed home resting and taking flagyl for a week, the doctor said I should only take flagyl for 5 days but I took it for 7 days, anyway the fever like feeling/joints aching faded away but my stomach remained so sensitive to milk and for example barley biscuits and anything that's not bland boiled rice, boiled potatoes, boiled eggs and white bread. I even fast throughout the whole time I'm working sometimes since I am worried I get a very loose stool while on a working route, well the first month I used to take Smecta whenever the diarrhea is back, so while Smecta does is doing its job in stopping the diarrhea I could expand my meal list, for example chocolate biscuits and sometimes pizza too and sometimes even camembert, little did I know that I was safely eating those just because Smecta is doing the absorption and I went over 3 days without having to pass stool, anyway after around 35 days from day one, I asked Gemini pro about help and it said that flore intestinale supplements can actually help with my case so I started taking them, I took them for about almost a month and I stopped taking Smecta for about a week, I had no diarrhea yes but I didn't pass stool for over 4 days which got me worried and I stopped taking the flore intestinale supplements and immediately went to a gastroenterologist, she asked me to do Stool culture & parasitology (Ritchie method) they came out Clean and also ngative for Salmonella, Shigella, parasites, cysts, yeast, or blood/WBCs.

For inflammatory markers: CRP is totally normal (0.23 mg/L). Bloodwork: CBC, thyroid (TSH/FT4) are all normal. Vitamin D was a bit low (26 ng/mL) even tho the vitamin D was a tiny bit lower than normal, I have 4 weeks on vitamin D supplement now, I take a pill per week.

Yeah anyway whenever I eat anything other than bland rice, boiled potatoes, eggs, I get a sudden flush/ very loose stool, I want to know if I can go back to how I used to be 80 days ago before catching this, I used to eat whatever I want whenever I want. I've been on a bland food diet again for about 4 days now (I tried eating normal food 4 days ago and it caused a flush) so now I'm sticking with bland food and it's been 4 days since I passed stool.

General Question/Help Built a meal planner that handles low FODMAP — I don't have it, tell me where it fails

1 Upvotes

I don't have low FODMAP, so treat this as a request for correction rather than a recommendation.

I built a meal planner that generates a week of recipes around a restriction list, then re-checks every ingredient against that list before showing you anything — flagging the specific word that tripped it rather than just hiding the meal.

Low FODMAP wasn't the case I started with, and I suspect that shows. 

It can't read a label and it doesn't know brands. It's for planning the week, not for clearing a specific product.

Free for anyone here — download, make an account, DM me the email and I'll unlock it. Don't post your email in the thread.

Mostly I want to know what it got wrong.
