If you're on either the...

*SCD diet,
*GAPS diet,

*Lyme diet, 
*AIP diet, 
*OR, a combo of these diets, 

and you are STILL unable to achieve wellness, 

this post is for YOU. 

Bloated? Cramping? Constipated? D*******? Gas? Abdominal swelling?

I'd like to introduce you to the concept of...

F-O-D-M-A-P-s

"What the heck is a FODMAP???"

_ _

●●

O

*That's what my face looked like when I first read 

about FODMAPs, too!*

[Well, here's the secret behind the acronym]

Fermentable

Oligo-

Di-

Monosaccharides 

And

Polyols.

In other words, they are...

C-A-R-B-O-H-Y-D-R-A-T-E-s.

HOWEVER,not ALL carbohydrates are lucky enough to be called FODMAPs. 

Here are the repeat offenders:

*Fructose *Lactose *Fructans 

*Galactans 

*Polyols 

SO....

"What do you DO with this information, you ask?"

I would recommend following a... 

LOW-FODMAP diet. ✔︎

Since I suggested a LOW-FODMAP diet, you probably want to view a list of the foods that are HIGH in FODMAPs and LOW in FODMAPs so that you can feel better! 

[I got the lists of foods from IBSdiets.org. THANK YOU, GUYS!!!!!]

❤︎

The list is a BIT lengthy to include in this post, so please feel free to 

access the link I listed above within the brackets. 

H-O-W-E-V-E-R, 

here are some of my FAVORITE foods that I've had to cut out as a result of following a LOW-FODMAP diet. 

I'm telling you this because these foods

 might be your favorite 

(but DEADLY) 

foods, too!

*Don't panic!!! I promise you that once 

these foods make their way out of your system, 

you will be ECSTATIC!!*

Garlic

Onions

Cauliflower

Scallions (the white part!)

Apples

Watermelon

Avocado

P.S. I have had to cut these foods out for other reasons besides adhering to the LOW-FODMAP diet, but now I know to NOT add them back in!

In conclusion, 

I hope this post has helped you to understand the FODMAPs diet!

ALWAYS REMEMBER...

to listen to your body as you tweak 

your diet to achieve 

wellness.  

Lots of love,

P.S.  I am not a doctor. This post comes from my heart, regarding my own personal experiences throughout my battle for wellness. I've gathered this information through extensive research. PLEASE feel free to contact your physician or a naturopathic doctor regarding the LOW-FODMAP diet. You may only have to be super restricted for two months, while others may have to stay on a LOW-FODMAP diet forever (such as myself). You just have to listen to your body!!!!! XOXOXOX
