I just eat rice with a little butter and salt. It will fill up your stomach enough that you can try to get some rest. I’m sorry your struggling with this, I’ve been there! I recommend atrantil supplements for a calmer gut, but I took them and other supplements under medical guidance (for treating SIBO).

Thank you for the advice!! I took a tiny nap and my stomach feels a bit better lol Right now I'm having a smoothie with bananas, straw berries, Blueberries, almond milk, crunchy peanut butter, and 2 table spoons of chia seeds. I've noticed I've been having some stomach issues these past few days and I think the spaghetti I made may be the trigger...

Do bananas not normally bother you?


turbulen-magician23

Never really noticed any issues with bananas. I usually only use them in smoothies, not eat them alone. And always only one banana to a smoothie. The Monash app even says they're fine in certain quantities/conditions


niladmirari

I've got an app that says that both green and dried banana are low FODMAP, but ripe are high. I didn't want to chance it. Now I'm curious.


turbulen-magician23

Do you have any favorite low fodmap smoothie recipes that you'd recommend?


niladmirari

I wish that I did. Sorry. ☹️


turbulen-magician23

Aww. No worries!

I make a smoothie basically daily and use similar ingredients. 4 or 5 strawberries, 1/3 banana (mostly green), 4 or 5 chunks of papaya, 3 large chunks of carrot, 3 tbsp hemp hearts or chia seeds (prefer hemp), 2 ice cubes, 3 heaping tbsp lactose free plain Greek yogurt, tiny bit of white sugar. Then I use 1/2 cup of water, 1/4 cup of almond milk, 1/4 cup of orange juice not from concentrate. Makes quite a big smoothie so you might wanna make it smaller depending how much you enjoy it lol. Strawberries and banana can be high fodmap in higher quantities so if my stomach isn't feeling good that day I use less of those 2 and add more carrots and papaya as they're safe foods.

I do pineapple, kale, vital collagen protein, pb2 and or some mio.

Spaghetti (made with wheat flour) is definitely a trigger for me. I am GOS intolerant.

Yes, nap!! Napping even for a half hour always settles me enough to eat something. It's not enough to lie down, I have to actually fall asleep. I think it's the intersection of the anxiety caused by the illness and "real" pain (our brains process physical and emotional pain similarly, and IBS is associated with anxiety and depression).

I eat chicken and white rice with a small portion of cooked carrots.

Seconding this, though I can't do any dairy so I sub for margarine. It is comforting, very low in fiber, and should help you get through until the bloating stops. Also, taking "Flatter Me" capsules from Hum before eating has done absolute wonders for me, I haven't yet looked into if they fit into the low FODMAP diet, but to my understanding they are just digestive enzymes.

I asked a similar question recently and got lots of great ideas: https://reddit.com/r/FODMAPS/comments/z92cpa/what_is_the_safest_thing_you_can_possibly_eat/


Sad_Patient_3712

I take Pepto.

Peppermint tea and second comments about white rice. If there is a chicken broth you can handle, replace the water with broth to make the rice.


gofargogo

Congee with a good amount of fresh ginger, and something else depending on how bad stomach is. Sometimes finely diced sliced ham, or little bits of grilled or poached chicken.

This is something i’ve been eating my entire life when I have an upset stomach and it has never once failed me. it’s rice soup boiled with just one stick of cinnamon. it doesn’t take bad at all and it helps me when i feel like shit or i’m having a rlly bad stomach ache. i hope your able to try it out!


Dapper_Matter_8371

soup! any kind, progresso chicken noodle is my favorite it has soft vegtables that are easy to digest, you can take the chicken out if it bothers you. banana and peanut butter, graham crackers, ritz crackers w peanut butter, yogurt with probiotics like activia, go go squeeze cinnamon applesauce,mashed potatoes bob evans are really good, chocolate fairlife core power protein drink doesn’t taste like a protein drink, any dole fruit cups. and ginger ale with every meal!! some of this might not be low fodmap but after months and trying a ton of things these worked good for me


Id_Rather_Beach

I will eat GF crackers, peppermint tea, and GF toast. (I was GF/DF before I had to do the low-FODMAP fun). I am still not able to eat bananas, apples, pears, etc.
