Update on diet to "cure" pouchitis

JillyMember

Hi all!!!

first, thanks to everyone here for your loving support and guidance.
OK, enough small talk.

I started on the FODMAP diet about one week ago. IT IS NOT HARD!!! well, it's not easy either, but it's really not hard.

so far, i've cut back to 500 mg of Cipro every other day with no adverse effect. YIPPEE!

I've learned a little about this diet and living on it. So if anyone wants to chat about FODMAP (or really anything I can help with), just let me know!!! i really do think it's making a difference!

I eliminated and found my triggers with FODMAP. One thing they say is an awful trigger is onions, but I am not bothered at all by them.

It is working for me, though. Bloating down to almost nil now. I'm about 95% gluten/wheat free (some days 100%, just depends). That's made a big impact on how I feel. I did not have pouchitis, though, nor was I on abx, I just began to feel really bloated and miserable, and this has helped a lot.

I am going to to try the FODMAP diet myself. I printed a lot of the foods allowed and not allowed. Even some foods I am allowed I cannot eat.

But I got to do something.
