Last November I started to have serious digestive upset, to the point where I missed most meals due to nausea, stomach cramps and diarrhea. Lost a tonne of weight and fell into anxiety and depression.
I was introduced to the idea of FODMAPs
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP
A low FODMAP diet basically restricts stuff like gluten, a lot of fruit and vegetables, etc. I've found it has pretty much solved my digestive issues, and if I cave in and eat a bread sandwich... I'm suffering for the next 2 days.
I think the human digestive system is highly complex, and should be the focus of a lot of research. There's so much we still don't know about the effects of what we eat.
I hope one day I can reintroduce "normal" food again... Because frankly FODMAP restriction sucks. At least I'm not wasting away anymore.
