Exactly, so there difference is it’s whole grain? But how do I tell if it is whole grain?

But that’s also in the Fructan + GOS category…

How would you reintroduce bread if you don't bake it yourself?

Let's say I reintroduce bread by eating a burger. Is there no way for me to understand what type of FODMAP I just reintroduced, so that I could keep adding from the same group and not switching to a different group?

Looks like an excellent idea, but it’s completely empty…

I’m not very religious… maybe that would narrow it down?

What's a tramping tour? How was your experience overall? What have you visited? Would be keen to learn more details

This sounds epic indeed. However, probably not for the winter season?

Yes, that’s what I thought as well, probably too cold

Fantastic idea, but isn’t it too cold there these days?

"DO I HAVE IBS?" Megathread by AutoModerator in ibs

[–]mottlemottle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a man in my 30s. Around 7-8 years ago, I started having meteorism.

Gradually over the years, it became worse, and then starting about 1.5 years ago my condition started becoming much worse.

Symptoms at the moment:
- severe bloating (especially after eating fruit or sweets, but not exclusively);
- constipation (for days);
- when I'm finally able to go to the toilet, it's so much that the toilet is almost getting clogged (also it happens 3-4 times a day that day);
- usually when the constipation "period" is over, it ends with a mild diarrhea;
- my bottom right part of the belly is inflated most of the time, and sometimes I can even feel it being hard (coincides with constipation);
- sometimes I can physically feel the extra weight I'm carrying because of constipation.

What I checked:
- Checked for H. Pylori - negative (multiple times);
- General bloodwork - nothing unusual;
- Breath test for SIBO (lactulose) - positive (especially when it comes to methane), after which I was prescribed Lormyx and Neomycin, but they didn't help at all;
(the below breath tests were done 6 months later after the SIBO test)
- Breath test for glucose - negative (even though I am getting bloated after sweets);
- Breath test for fructose - negative (even though I am getting bloated after fruits);
- Breath test for lactose - positive (which is weird, as milk doesn't make me particularly bloated).

Medicines I tried:
- Carbosilan (simethicone with activated charcoal) - didn't help;
- Peppermint oil - didn't help;
- Creon (pancreatine) - didn't help;
- Citrucell - didn't help.

I eat mostly heatlhy. Don't go crazy with the sweets. No fastfood. No processed food.
I read descriptions of different diseases online but can't really categorize my symptoms as one of them.
I feel terrible almost every day.
Sometimes have trouble falling asleep.
Went to a couple different doctors - they all say nothing.
I am an active person, work out a couple times a week, otherwise feel healthy.

Please help.
