leahcarn Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I am trying to fix some unresolved stomach issues by doing a low FODMAP whole30. I wasn't thinking straight yesterday, and ate a little (activated) almond butter off the side of the food processor while I was making it (around one tenth of one almond). Now I have seen almonds on some fodmap lists but not others, so I have been avoiding them. I know fodmaps do seem to be dosage dependant and low fodmap is not no-fodmap, but I was on day 9, right in the middle of the bloating and bacteria die-off, and that seems to have ended now, so I'm not sure if that's significant. Did I just give my digestive-issue-causing bacteria enough food to survive? Should I start my 30 days over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 stomach issues don't have a precise 30-day clock. Some take more time to resolve than others. Since almonds are technically ok on the whole30, I would not start over, just notice how you feel once you get to day 30. If stomach issues haven't resolved, consider waiting a bit longer before you start re-intros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahcarn Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 Thanks missmary, reintroductions are also something I'm going to be very careful with, EVERY new ingredient will get tested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy00 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Leahcarn, sorry to put into this convo.. but im thinking of doing low- Fodmaps since the last week or so ive had some stomach pain and tiredness and bloating despite being whole30 (day 23 today) I have a question; do you feel like you get enough calories on low fodmaps? im particularly worried about not enough fats, and since i do xfit 4 times a week i dont wanna run on low energy. It would be great to hear from someone doing this. thanks heaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie_G Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Izzy00, as quite a few starchy vegetables are low FODMAP and all animal fats are, I would think you could get enough calories to fuel your actvity on a Whole30+low FODMAP approach. This is a list from a blog I read regularly http://petra8paleo.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/aip-low-fodmap-food-list/ (nb. Many recipes are NOT Whole30 approved, but some are eg. https://petra8paleo.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/kalua-lamb-shanks-aip-friendly-low-fodmap/) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leahcarn Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 I am really sick of coconut milk, but I could eat coconut butter all day. I am in New Zealand and swedes (rutabaga) and pumpkin are in season at the moment, so I'm not feeling low in starchy veges. I do miss my cauliflower though =( Fritattas are a great way to hide coconut milk =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
