Avoid high FODMAP foods
I would like to introduce how I avoid the high FODMAP foods. Your gut health depends on each person and everyone has different condition. So this is my way of avoiding them.
As I have been trying to avoid the high FODMAP foods, I sometimes forget about it and eat what I want. That's what happened the other day. I ate ごま団子, which includes wheat, and あんこ (sweet bean paste). I wanted to eat something sweet, so I bought it at the grocery store with other food for the weekend.
After a few hours later, my stomach became uncomfortable. It's my own fault but I need to deal with this trouble once in a while.
My examples of avoiding high FODMAP food
Wheat (pasta, noodles, sweets using wheat) , soy milk, sweet bean paste (あんこ), green peas, yogurt, onions
There may be more high FODMAP foods that actually don't fit my condition. I felt that my condition especially becomes bad when I have these foods above. My bad condition wasn't from allergies, so I was questioning myself why this is happening.
It's stressful to strictly avoid every food that I listed above. And I also feel that it may be even difficult to avoid them especially wheat. So I try to avoid these high FODMAP foods when my condition isn't well. In addition, I try to be careful of the balance of foods I eat.
My way of avoiding high FODMAP foods is just one way. There may be other good ways to keep balance of your health and good condition.
Thank you so much for reading.
