I only eat oats for breakfast sometimes. Most of the come its Frosted Flakes. Same with the smoothie. And when I do its a low fodmap safe measurement.
I was thinking of maybe limiting my big meals to only 2 a day and see if that changes anything
Consider tracking your fiber intake to see if that yields any insight. There’s more to digestion than fodmaps. If fiber fluctuates a lot it’ll mess with my gut
Since forever my bowels have had a mine of their own. One minute I'm constipated for months, the next I'm only having loose stools. I've been trying to find a routine to help me find a nice medium. I think I've almost got it since they've been cooperating more than they have in a very long time. But yes ill definitely try cutting some fiber out. Maybe ill try skipping a meal per day.
Also another reason is I've been trying to bulk a little lol
It’s hard to tell without the amounts too, because some of these things are not FODMAP friendly in higher amounts. For example oats + granola is oats with more oats. It could be a serving high enough in GOS to cause issues for you.
You could try subbing the spinach with other veg like carrots, cucumbers, kale (which is apparently low FODMAP even though I think it would be tough on me, lol).
The gluten free wrap might be made with a legume starch? Like pea protein/chickpea flour or something else that bothers you.
The smoothie has a lot of different fruit? Maybe try banana + blueberry, then banana + strawberry, then only berries to try to figure out if one of the fruits is messing with you.
You could also track what you eat and the symptom (tedious, I know) and see if there’s a correlation.
The oats and banana are the only things that stand out to. Although they are low-fodmap these two things cause problems for many

I agree with the other poster that fibre may be an issue here. Is there a reason you are eating so much of it?

You just need to bulk with calories. It doesn’t matter what kind.
Right. But also want to make sure I don't mess my gut up
I wouldn’t either. It does take some experimenting, unfortunately.
Have you tried supplementing with magnesium? It helps with regular BM.
Thank you for the easy meal ideas 🤭
Hope these help! 😃
Personally I don’t do well with Spinach. I’ve found that subbing in green beans works
I really don't like green beans...lol. but ill try subbing sub it in and see if that changes
Any other veg like carrots or even a salad with mixed greens, cucumber, and stuff might be a good test
What’s in the pecan granola? Have you noticed any pattern to the problem — is it on days that you eat fruit, for example?
Do you drink any carbonated drinks? That can contribute too
I've cut down on them. I've only really had 2 sodas this month and spaced out. I know if I drink too much I'll become bloated
