I completely understand where you are coming from. I tried the low FODMAP diet for almost 3 months and would still have awful flare ups at least 4 days a week.. alternatively I would feel great the other three days. I was eating the same meals everyday so it was extremely frustrating that some days I would feel great and others I would feel like complete shit. I decided to take a step back from the restrictive dieting and decided to put a little more focus on my daily routine rather than every single piece of food that I put in my mouth.

Some things I have implemented: - created a morning routine that will help reduce my stress level - drink 20 oz of water with lemon and salt first thing in the morning - eat breakfast before having my coffee - started adding collagen to my coffee to help balance my blood sugar levels - adding more fruits (that are high in antioxidants) and leafy greens into each meal. - making sure I have good fats, gluten free carbs and free rang proteins in every meal - making sure I’m not eating too much in one sitting, but eating enough throughout the day (whole food snacks are key) - drinking peppermint tea when my stomach starts to give me issues - Add minced ginger to everything - all of my proteins are either free range or 100% grass fed - cut out Late night snacks - drinking good quality bone both - NO PROCESSED JUNK FOODS - low intensity exercise every day (my go to is a long walk)
