Over the past few years, I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen. We have decided some of the issues could be from bloating. I was asked to try the Low Fodmap diet. This diet can make certain people feel better. Please do your own research if you wan to know what the diet is.
This is not a lose weight diet. It is a way to restrict your eating so you can decide which foods make your body feel uncomfortable.
I recently went to Wegmans in State College PA to look for some items I can not find in other places. One thing they have their a Foddy foods. These are foods that are certified as low fodmap by Monash University.
Here are some shopping tips:
Plan Ahead:
- Before heading to Wegmans, make a list of low FODMAP foods you need. This will help you stay focused and avoid impulse purchases. You can use their website.
Know Your Labels:
Familiarize yourself with the ingredients commonly found in high FODMAP foods. Look for products labeled "low FODMAP" or check the ingredients list for FODMAP-friendly options. This is basically looking at each ingredient. If they have "natural flavors" this is something you should be concerned about if you don't know what it is.
Pick Up Staples:
- These are simple low Fodmap items you could find at any grocery store such as carrots, blueberries, strawberries, brown rice and eggs.
