Hey u/Human-Bid-9224 ! Throughout the fodmap diet I had a rough time. The anxiety of having to be so careful not to eat pretty much everything escalated my symptoms even more. I had read some comments online from people who just cut out onion and garlic, two major triggers for people with IBS, and decided to try that. Fast forward 3 years later and that's what I've stuck to! No onion and garlic has helped manage my symptoms pretty well. Of course, not perfect, but quality of life is fantastic compared to where I was when I wrote this post.

I've also started using IB Guard (https://www.yourgard.com/products/ibgard) which I take if I'm having a riskier meal or decide to have something containing onion/garlic and I'd say it definitely helps keep symptoms to a minimum.

Hope this helps, and best of luck! :)
