Régime FODMAP : Guide Complet et Conseils Pratiques

Le régime FODMAP est devenu un sujet brûlant dans le domaine de la nutrition et de la santé digestive. Mais qu'est-ce que le régime FODMAP, exactement, et comment peut-il aider ceux qui souffrent de troubles gastro-intestinaux tels que le syndrome du côlon irritable (SCI) ?

Qu'est-ce que le Régime FODMAP ?

Les FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, And Polyols) sont des sucres fermentescibles présents dans de nombreux aliments courants. Pour certaines personnes, ces composés peuvent être difficiles à digérer, entraînant des symptômes désagréables tels que ballonnements, gaz, douleurs abdominales et diarrhée.

Le régime FODMAP est une approche diététique qui vise à réduire la consommation de ces sucres fermentescibles afin de soulager les symptômes du SCI et d'autres troubles gastro-intestinaux. En éliminant ou en réduisant les aliments riches en FODMAP de l'alimentation, de nombreuses personnes ont constaté une amélioration significative de leurs symptômes digestifs.

Les Principes du Régime FODMAP

Le régime FODMAP se décompose en plusieurs phases :

Phase d'élimination : Pendant cette phase, les aliments riches en FODMAP sont éliminés de l'alimentation pendant une période de temps déterminée, généralement de deux à six semaines.

Phase de réintroduction : Une fois la phase d'élimination terminée et les symptômes soulagés, les aliments FODMAP sont réintroduits un par un pour déterminer lesquels peuvent être tolérés et en quelle quantité.

Phase de personnalisation : En fonction des réponses individuelles, un régime alimentaire personnalisé est établi pour chaque personne, en tenant compte des aliments tolérés et de leurs quantités.

Aliments à Éviter et Aliments Autorisés

Pendant la phase d'élimination du régime FODMAP, il est important d'éviter les aliments riches en FODMAP tels que :

Les oignons et l'ail

Les produits laitiers contenant du lactose

Les légumineuses

Certains fruits tels que les pommes, les poires et les cerises

Certains légumes tels que les choux, les champignons et les asperges

En revanche, de nombreux aliments sont autorisés dans le cadre du régime FODMAP, notamment :

Les viandes maigres

Le poisson

Les œufs

Les céréales sans gluten, comme le riz et le quinoa

Certains fruits et légumes à faible teneur en FODMAP, comme les fraises, les bananes et les carottes

Conseils Pratiques pour Suivre le Régime FODMAP

Suivre un régime FODMAP peut sembler intimidant au début, mais avec un peu de planification et de créativité, il est tout à fait possible de manger délicieusement tout en respectant les principes du régime. Voici quelques conseils pratiques pour vous aider en cours de route :

Planifiez vos repas à l'avance : En planifiant vos repas à l'avance, vous pouvez vous assurer de toujours avoir des options adaptées au régime FODMAP sous la main.

Familiarisez-vous avec les étiquettes nutritionnelles : Apprenez à repérer les aliments riches en FODMAP sur les étiquettes nutritionnelles afin de prendre des décisions éclairées lors de vos achats.

Expérimentez avec de nouvelles recettes : Essayez de nouvelles recettes et techniques de cuisson pour diversifier votre alimentation tout en respectant les principes du régime FODMAP.

Consultez un professionnel de la santé : Si vous envisagez de suivre le régime FODMAP, consultez d'abord un professionnel de la santé, de préférence un diététicien ou un nutritionniste spécialisé dans les troubles gastro-intestinaux.

Conclusion

Le régime FODMAP est une approche diététique prometteuse pour soulager les symptômes du syndrome du côlon irritable et d'autres troubles gastro-intestinaux. En suivant les principes du régime et en faisant preuve de créativité dans votre alimentation, vous pouvez réduire vos symptômes digestifs et améliorer votre qualité de vie.

how to math foods from their nutrition info and ingredient list:

in the US, ingredient lists have to be in order from largest to smallest amount. so like I'm looking at these chicken gyoza I get from Sprouts:

nutrition label:

serving size: 7 gyoza, or 140g. This is slightly complicated by the fact that the ingredients list (below) is divided into filling and wrapper, but I'm mostly interested in mathing out the filling anyway. by looking up gyoza wrappers separately I have determined 7 wrappers is around 39-40g. (fodmap app says I'm good up to like. 30 wrappers. yay I don't have to worry about the wrappers.)

So I'm looking at a serving size of 100g for the filling.

the ingredient list looks like this:

Ingredients: Filling: Boneless Chicken, Cabbage, Sugar, Salt, Onion, Soybean Oil, Sesame Seed Oil, Ginger, Garlic, White Pepper. Wrapper: Unbleached And Enriched Wheat Flour (Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, Food Starch, Salt, Soybean Oil.

Because the ingredient list is by amount, I know that chicken (the first ingredient) could be almost all of that 100g, but the most cabbage (second ingredient) there could be is just under 50g, because there has to be more chicken than cabbage. and the same applies down the line. so the list is:

chicken - less than 100g

cabbage - less than 50g (half)

sugar - less than 33g (one third)

salt - less than 25g (one fourth) 1.6g (see below)

onion - less than 20g (one fifth) 1.6g

soybean oil - less than 17g (one sixth) 1.6g

sesame oil - less than 14g (one seventh)1.6g

ginger - less than 12.5g (one eighth) 1.6g

garlic - less than 11g (one ninth) 1.6g

white pepper - less than 10g (one tenth) 1.6g

and likely everything from sugar down is actually much lower -- you don't have your seasonings take up a third of your material. but those are the greatest amounts a serving could contain based on this nutritional label. and in fact, I can look up what the sodium content is--650mg, or less than a single gram, according to the nutrition label. sodium is about 40% of salt's mass so call that 1.6g salt, and then figure out that everything lower on the list than salt (4) has to also be less than 1.6g. (and. salt is also in the wrappers. so this is more salt and more subsequent seasonings than is in the fillings. 1.6g is our high safety estimate.)

so, what does my fodmap app say about these ingredients?

chicken's fine, don't need to worry about my meats pretty much.

cabbage: safe serve is 75g. I'm good.

sugar: safe serve is 50g. I'm good.

salt: does not contain fodmaps

onion: 12g is a yellow serve. but since we know onion actually has to be less than 1.6g, I think this is safe.

oils: no fodmaps

ginger: 5g is a safe serve, since we're under 1.6g we're good.

garlic: I had to look up a bunch of stuff to figure out what qualifies as a safe serve of garlic, because it's miniscule. but it's like 1.46g. that's close enough to 1.6g (and garlic is enough ingredients down from that salt) that I think this is probably safe.

white pepper: not sure, but black pepper would be fine?

Yay, I can eat a serving of these gyoza! my tendency to eat two servings for a meal might be pushing things but like. overall. safe food despite inclusion of fodmap ingredients due to how little of those ingredients are actually in there.

I do shit like this in my head like all the time. like when I'm trying to figure out how much lactose a cheese has, I'll check its sugar content. regular milk runs at about 4% lactose but I know 1-2% is generally safe for me to consume, so if the g of sugar in a cheese is less than 2% of the serving size I'll know it's okay for my level of lactose intolerance. (although there's a complication on sugar! if the amount of sugar in a serving is less than 5 calories - less than about a gram - the label does not have to report it! which is why tic tacs are listed at 0 calories and 0g of sugar even though their primary ingredient is sugar. because a serving size is less than half a gram. anyway this means that if i'm looking at a label that says 0g sugar and i want to be sure the percent of sugar (that is potentially lactose) is less than 2% of the serving, that serving size has to be at least 50g for me to be sure the "rounded down" to zero sugar is still at a safe amount. tricky with cream cheese where they set the serving at 30g.)

anyway shoutout to the gnocchi company (Del Cecco ftw) that put on the ingredient list that the first ingredient (mashed potatoes) comprised 80% of the gnocchi and the second ingredient (potato starch) comprised 15%, you made my life so much easier.

Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Instant Pot Rice Noodles with Chicken & Green Beans

If there's a theme to my FODMAP adventures, it's that I fall into a deep despair when I'm almost done cooking, because I realize I've misread something in the recipe and have to make do with whatever mess I've made. Generally, it turns out ok in the end, but getting there is a bumpy fcuking ride. So, here I misread a pretty serious quantity of something, but I had already made so many changes that it didn't really matter. I'm going to write the recipe as made, not as originally written. Onward.

Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Instant Pot Rice Noodles with Chicken & Green Beans

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed

1 c water

1 c chicken broth

2 tbsp packed brown sugar

2 tbsp oyster sauce

2 tbsp fish sauce

14 oz package of rice noodles, either linguini or 1/4 in wide

1 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 in lengths

3/4 c chopped fresh cilantro

3/4 c dry-roasted peanuts, chopped coarse

vegetable oil, salt and pepper

gluten-free soy sauce & rice vinegar for serving

Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Using highest saute function in the Instant Pot, brown the chicken in about 2 tbsp vegetable oil, about 3 minutes each side. Stir in water and broth, sugar, oyster sauce and fish sauce. Lock the lid and pressure cook on the highest temp for 10 minutes. Turn off and quick release pressure.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to boil, turn off, and add the rice noodles. Soak for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until almost tender. Drain and rinse under water until cold. Toss with a couple tablespoons oil and set aside.

Transfer chicken from Instant Pot onto a cutting board. Let cool enough to handle, and shred or chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add green beans to broth remaining in pot, and cook, using the lowest saute function, until crisp-tender and bright green, 3-5 minutes.

Turn off Instant Pot. Stir in the noodles and chicken and allow to warm through for 5 minutes or so. Sprinkle individual servings with peanuts and cilantro, and serve with soy sauce and rice vinegar.

The recipe I was working from called for 8 oz of rice noodles, and I ended up using 14 oz of rice noodles, so this was more rice noodle forward than I was expecting. I didn't hate it, but I would do it differently next time. It was also more sweet than I prefer (though still quite good), so I'd use less brown sugar. You could also add a jalapeño or serrano pepper when cooking the chicken for a little bit of heat. All of this is preference though; the base recipe works as is.

Re: FODMAP concerns: I used a cup of chicken broth because I was using it up, but you could use two cups of water to no ill effect. Commercially produced broth often has problematic ingredients, FODMAP-ily speaking. Fish sauce is almost always low-FODMAP, but oyster sauces run the gamut from low-FODMAP to radioactive. As always, read labels (or use an app like Fig) when vetting your ingredients.

So! My seemingly obligatory emotional roller coaster while making dinner aside, this turned out quite well, and I'm looking forward to leftovers tomorrow.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to adhere to a low-FODMAP diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients. As ever, don't trust some rando on the internet, even if that rando is me.

[forcesensitivebantha]

yo if anyone has food restrictions/allergies can I suggest the app "Fig"/food is good, it scans labels and you can set allergies dietary needs ect. I'm on a fodmap elimination diet and this is literally a life changer

[eurydices-ghost]

I’ve been using this one AI app called Perplexity for a bit now. It basically searches the web and then summarizes the top results, with links to where it gets each line of information. It’s an easy way to quickly get info instead of wading through multiple clickbait/SEO spam results for searches that would yield such. E.g. “how many calories are in a russet potato?” “are grapes low-FODMAP?” those sorts of queries.

Anyway, 2 things I’ve noticed lately:

1) With SEO spam sites using AI to generate their SEO spam, sometimes you wind up having Perplexity cite a website that was clearly AI generated. It’s AI all the way down! It’s given me very conflicting information on how to care for my jumping spider, for instance, because some of the top sites don’t appear to be written by a human.

2) There’s no ads anywhere. I know I’m not the first to point this out but the fact that we’re in the pre-enshittification era of AI is naturally going to make us want to use AI tools, since they’re free and don’t have ads. Put ads in this stuff and suddenly it’s about as nice of a UX as Google already is. GenAI is going to be really, really enshittified in 15 years.

bought the monash fodmap app and oh boy have I been eating all the wrong shit lol

also my portions suck, I need a food scale

How to Overcome IBS: Expert Tips for a Healthier Digestive System

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive condition affecting millions of people worldwide. Characterised by symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, or constipation, IBS can significantly impact your quality of life. However, with the right strategies, managing and even overcoming IBS is possible. In this guide, we’ll explore practical, evidence-based approaches to help you regain control of your digestive health.

Understanding IBS

Before delving into solutions, it’s essential to understand what IBS is and what causes it. IBS is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, meaning it affects how your gut functions rather than being a structural problem. The exact cause remains unclear, but factors such as stress, diet, and gut microbiota imbalance often play a role.

Common Triggers

Dietary Factors: Certain foods, including fatty meals, dairy, and artificial sweeteners, can exacerbate IBS symptoms.

Stress: Emotional stress can trigger IBS flare-ups by affecting gut-brain communication.

Gut Microbiome: An imbalance in gut bacteria may contribute to IBS symptoms.

Recognising these triggers is the first step in learning how to overcome IBS.

Tailoring Your Diet

Dietary changes are among the most effective ways to manage IBS symptoms. The following strategies can help:

1. Low FODMAP Diet

The low FODMAP diet involves reducing foods high in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. These are short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the gut and can lead to bloating and discomfort. Common FODMAP-rich foods include onions, garlic, wheat, and certain fruits like apples.

Tip: Work with a nutritionist to ensure a balanced approach to this diet.

2. High Fibre vs. Low Fibre

For individuals with IBS-C (constipation predominant), increasing fibre intake, especially soluble fibre from sources like oats and flaxseeds, can help. Conversely, those with IBS-D (diarrhoea predominant) may need to reduce fibre, focusing instead on easily digestible foods.

3. Probiotics

Incorporating probiotic-rich foods like yoghurt, kefir, and fermented vegetables may help rebalance gut bacteria. Supplements designed for IBS relief are also widely available.

Stress Management

Stress is a major IBS trigger, so managing it is crucial. The gut and brain are closely linked via the gut-brain axis, meaning your emotional state can directly affect digestion.

1. Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques

Practices like meditation, deep breathing, and yoga can help calm the nervous system, reducing the frequency of IBS flare-ups.

Example: Dedicate 10 minutes a day to guided meditation apps designed for stress relief.

2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

CBT has shown promise in helping IBS patients manage stress and reframe negative thought patterns related to their symptoms.

3. Exercise

Regular physical activity, such as walking, swimming, or cycling, supports digestion and helps alleviate stress.

Supporting Gut Health

The state of your gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in IBS. Making the right lifestyle and dietary choices can promote a healthier digestive system.

1. Prebiotics and Probiotics

While probiotics add beneficial bacteria to your gut, prebiotics like bananas, asparagus, and chicory root feed those bacteria.

2. Hydration

Drinking enough water aids in digestion and prevents constipation, especially for individuals increasing their fibre intake.

Medications and Supplements

In some cases, dietary changes and lifestyle adjustments may not fully alleviate IBS symptoms. Over-the-counter or prescribed medications can provide relief:

Antispasmodics: These help reduce abdominal pain by relaxing the gut muscles.

Fibre Supplements: Psyllium husk is a popular choice for managing constipation without worsening gas or bloating.

Peppermint Oil: Studies suggest that enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules can help soothe IBS symptoms.

Important: Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting new medications or supplements.

The Role of Sleep

Poor sleep quality can exacerbate IBS symptoms. Aim for 7-9 hours of restful sleep each night by maintaining a consistent bedtime routine and avoiding screens before bed.

When to Seek Professional Help

If your IBS symptoms are severe or unmanageable despite making lifestyle changes, seek professional guidance. A gastroenterologist can provide tailored advice and potentially diagnose underlying conditions.

At Tonic Health, we specialise in empowering individuals to take charge of their well-being. Our experts offer personalised plans to help you understand and overcome IBS effectively.

Conclusion

Living with IBS doesn’t have to mean living in discomfort. By adopting a holistic approach that includes dietary adjustments, stress management, and gut health optimisation, you can effectively manage and overcome this condition.

Production Report #5

The past two weeks have been extremely challenging for me personally, which has affected my progress with my project. I had reached the phase where I was ready to schedule a final round of user testing on my high fidelity prototype.

I was suddenly struck with awful intestinal symptoms, which included pain and bloating. I was hoping the issue would resolve on its own, but it soon became clear that I needed to see my doctor to get any relief. I was diagnosed with lactose intolerance and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), both of which are chronic. I was prescribed medication and was placed on the FODMAP diet. I had to reschedule all of my testing sessions so that I could balance resting in bed with trips to the grocery store to get new food that I was allowed to eat. And thus began a painful journey of living a lifetime of dietary restrictions.

The biggest lesson I have learned the past two weeks is that you can’t push a project forward if your health isn’t optimal. I felt guilty rescheduling sessions because I felt as though I was wasting people’s time. However, once I explained that I was not well enough to conduct the session, I discovered that people are incredibly kind and understanding. Everyone I had to reschedule told me to let them know when I felt well enough to conduct their session. It took me two weeks to get the sessions done. I was hoping to spend one week on the sessions and another week on the changes, but I had to readjust my plans. I have learned to be more forgiving for falling short of the high expectations I set on myself.

Once I was able to sit down for a session, I followed the same procedure as my previous sessions, but with a new prototype to test. I sat with a notebook and prompted the user to complete specific navigation tasks, such as navigating to the wish list page or finding an item to reserve to complete the main user flow. As the user completed each task, I took notes on my physical notebook, which I would later transcribe into a Google Sheets document. Once the user completed all of the tasks, I opened the voice recorder on my phone and asked open-ended questions, such as how they felt about the app and if they had any suggestions for improvement on either the design itself or the user flow. After the recording was completed, I would summarize the points the user made in my Google Sheets document. I would then refer to this document when I went back to Figma to prepare my project for final submission.

I used to push through projects even if I was unwell, mentally or physically, because I strive to get things done in an accurate and timely manner. I ended up not performing as well as I hoped at the cost of making my health worse. In order to manage my IBS, I had to decrease my stress levels. By working on this project piece by piece and by listening to what my body needed, I was able to complete the project, even though it took more time than I wanted to. I’m hoping that I can use my time off this summer to focus on healing and coming back refreshed for the fall semester.

low FODMAPing this recipe

beef

salt, black pepper

all-purpose flour--replaced with corn starch (note when you're using it as a thickener, use about half as much corn starch as you would flour)

onions-- replaced with bulb of fennel and a handful of radishes

carrots--I left them in but i just want to note I'm not as skilled or fast with a knife as he is so I used the slice mode of my food processor:

celery--substituted the stalks of the fennel

garlic--I found garlic-infused olive oil at my grocery, I cooked the meat, the mirepoix, the mushroom in it

so that's the oil I used!

cornstarch instead of flour again when cooking the mirepoix

balsamic vinegar--at this dilution I decided it was ok

chicken stock--I took a chance on one that used onion powder (onion powder isn't actually listed in the fodmap app, shrug emoji)

tomato paste-- skipped but that's more of a personal preference, at that dilution it probably would have been ok

rosemary, thyme

mushroom--the only mushroom the fodmap app says is ok is oyster mushroom, which I could only find dried. If you are dealing with dried mushroom check the reconstitution instructions beforehand--mine needed half an hour soak, which i should have started at the beginning

Also next time I would buy two packages, one package didn't expand up as much as I thought it would.

baby potatoes--mine weren't baby enough i chopped 'em

worcestershire sauce--fine at this dilution

coriander/cilantro--yes, and a plug for my favorite time-saving kitchen device, the 5-bladed herb scissors

or I guess maybe 10 depending how you count?

anyway i now have a tasty tasty stew

Day 30: Low-FODMAP Shepherd's Pie

I've been on a run of casseroles, so I figured I'd continue the trend by attempting to make a low-FODMAP version of the beloved Midwestern standby, Tater Tot Hotdish. The first real obstacle is that the tradition gravy/binder in the dish is a can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup, and just about all the ingredients in that are forbidden. I just went with a basic sauce made out of broth, milk, and some Parmesan for creaminess, which was good.

But it turned out I was unable to source any tater tots that were low-FODMAP -- onions, donchaknow -- even though the Fig app claims they exist. I assume they're regional brands not carried at the local SuperOne. I ended up using hash browns which I thought had a similar vibe. The finished product ended up tasting and looking more like a shepherd's pie than tater tot hotdish, and a lot, so I just went with it. To the recipe:

Low-FODMAP Shepherd's Pie

1 1/2 lbs green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch lengths

1 c diced carrots

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 tbsp fresh thyme, minced

3 tbsp brown rice flour

1 c water mixed with 1 tbsp beef-style Better Than Bullion

2/3 c lactose-free whole milk

1 c shredded Parmesan

8 oz can of water chestnuts, cut into matchsticks

3-4 c frozen hash browns

shredded mozzarella, optional

oil, salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 450F and position a rack in the upper middle of the oven. Steam green beans until bright green and this side of done.

Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven or a high-walled skillet, cook the carrots in a little oil over medium heat until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Crumble in the ground beef, thyme, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and cook until well browned and most of the liquid is evaporated.

Mix in the rice flour, and then pour in broth and milk, scraping up any brown bits. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Off heat, mix in the Parmesan, then the water chestnuts and green beans. Pour into a 2 qt baking dish.

Cover with a layer of hash browns, and sprinkle with mozzarella, if using. Bake until bubbling and browned on the top, about 30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes.

Like most hotdishes, the ingredients list was largely dictated by what I had to use up in the fridge or pantry. I had a couple sad carrots, but I would have used more if I had them. The water chestnuts were in the pantry, and I thought they'd add an interesting crunch, which they did. The kids liked it, and one declared it better than the mac & cheese, that honestly isn't saying much.

I went with Better Than Bullion because most commercially made broths have a bunch of stuff on the no list, like celery or onions, and this seemed like the lowest-FODMAP of the available options. I suppose you could make your own broth, but, brother, I have a full time job, and I ain't doing that. Repeat after me: it's a low-FODMAP diet, not a no-FODMAP diet.

So. This ended up working out in a way I did not expect, but I'm glad it worked out.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

Tomato Basil Salad with Rice Paper Crisps

Salad Ingredients

Tomatoes

Fresh Basil

Salt

Black Pepper

Olive Oil (garlic infused oil is nice)

Steps:

Chop the tomatoes and the basil. Then just mix em all together, it's a salad, make it to taste!

You can eat this salad with whatever you choose, I chose to try and eat it with Rice Paper crisps as an alternative to a sliced baguette bcuz rice is more fodmap friendly. Rice paper definitely isn't as filling as bread however.

NOTES:

So tomatoes have fructose but there is a fodmap friendly serving size, however some people tolerate it better than others. The recommended serving size is 1/2 a medium tomato according to the monash app. Idk what medium means but I had 3 'small' ones imo. They're normal tomatoes... but I am not in the US so idk what variety it is but it's not those big ones used for sandwiches.

Crisps Ingredients:

Rice Paper

Water (for soaking the rice paper)

Oil (for frying)

Steps:

Prepare your frying pan with a thin layer of oil, just enough to cover the rice paper. Heat on low heat.

Cut the rice paper to whatever size you desire. I recommend quarters, though if you have round rice paper maybe cut it slightly like a pizza ie. triangles. Don't make them too small though. Soak the rice paper for about 5 seconds in water and remove it, letting it absorb the water and become soft. It gets very sticky so you have to do this one by one and throw them in the pan as soon as it softens.

Fry for 30 seconds to 1 minute depending on size.

Remove from oil and let cool slightly.

Then spoon your salad with it and eat and enjoy! Since it is rice paper, it will be crunchy but also have some chew depending on if it folds over itself when frying. Try not to let it fold over too much because it will get tough to eat.

I've seen people say to fry without soaking it in the water, but i tried that and it was horrible. It was hard and stuck to my teeth in an unpleasant fashion and I couldn't get it out without digging for ages.

Don't be worried about it pitching a lot because of water, the paper will absorb the water and get soft. A little longer and it will get sticky.

My doctor reconfirmed that I need to stay on strict low-fodmap diet because its the only thing we ever tried that keeps my random malnutrition away

Its so limiting that its rare to be on for very long. Most people find one or two fodmap they can't process and move on. I can only kind of process milk

I can't have:

garlic

onion

most grains including wheat

legumes

most fruits

broccoli

most mushrooms

celery

green bell pepper

+So much more off limit veggies with such randomness that i need an app from a university to keep track

When I go to potlucks I basically have to only eat things I bring and from fruit and veggies plates I can pick at

it sucksssss ive been doing this for years

Low FODMAP diet tip - Kitchen scale

I cannot tell you how important a good kitchen scale is on a Low FODMAP diet. 1st – it is much faster than measuring 2nd – it is much more accurate than measuring 3rd – when you use the Monash app, you will get measurements and weight – the weight will usually be more than the measurements. Let’s look at raisins, for example, in Monash’s app.  It gives a green light at 1 tablespoon or 13 grams…

[jmtorres]

while this does have one thing I need--kosher cert is an option you can customize--it's not uh. flexible enough for the rest of my needs? which are "i can have low-lactose dairy and low-fodmap fruit & veg" it's very much allergen absolute geared.

i use an app called FIG that lets you finely grain stuff--you can mark thousands of ingredients as avoid, limit, or okay. And it will do some autoselection if you tell it you have an allergy or a diet like gluten-free, but you can also tweak the individual ingredients it marks based on that. unfortunately the one thing it doesn't have is kosher :(
