Re: Low-FOODMAPS diet for IBS

[Guest guest]

I have read the research on a FOODMAP diet. I find it very interesting for

those IBS patients where gas persists despite diet therapy. It is quite

restrictive and therefore have not recommended it yet to those few who continue

to have difficulty. I would like to her others opinions and results.

Not sure if any of you saw the WSJ piece about avoidance of highly

fermentable carbs for those with IBS.

Interesting area of research....has anyone prescribed this type of diet?

Doctor Natasha McBride author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS

diet) writes a lot about removing FOODMAPs until the gut flora is healthier and

better able to deal with starch remnants in the large bowel which can cause gas

production.

There was a session at FNCE about using a low FODMAPS diet in people with IBS

who also have small bowel bacterial overgrowth. Since FNCE I have had 2

patients start on a low FODMAPS diet. One of them the MD had in his note

" suspect small bacterial overgrowth " and another was a very complicated case and

I used it more as a last resort.

The first patient is doing very well, symptoms have 90% subsided. She is

starting to re-introduce some fruits and grains w/o symptoms.

I have not seen the second patient back to assess her progress yet.

No antibiotic, and I had her start Florajen and it made her feel worse (in the

first couple of days) so we d/c it. She re-started it a couple days before

seeing me in follow-up w/o issues that time?. (time span was 4 1/2 weeks).
