i am not so fast to dismiss about fodmaps.....seems like anything that disrupts digestion eggs on the inflammation, then the more inflammation, the more things like fodmaps will be likely to irritate....i am pretty sure they will for chrons tho. if you are bad with it.
i think there is often exceptions to the rules when u understand where they are coming from....like an apple, no way i would even think about it. raw....peeled, whatever just...not even risk that.......but cooked...applesauce to thicken output or sweeten/moisten some muffins or such, it just works.
i am still pretty afraid of the sugars in fruits in general....and with vegetables and cruciforms or this its a delicate thing.......sure gas and some sugars feed some diversity of microbes but.....i am more looking like what i really need from these things........how much fiber balance....low residue things, easy access protein, nutrient value etc..
for fruits im looking alot like.....blueberry, kiwi, papaya, banana, unsweetened applesauce....
it sure is a balance i can see even in my short time so far....if you dont get the nutrition you feed the illness, but all these reasons foods can act as poison which arent usually stated clearly....
trying to gain weight and fear food same time......it is a strong challenge.........i had to sort of phase out some cheat foods, because i check the scale like every time im in the bathroom, so paranoid to loose any weight.....
im finding some things and superfoods and supplements that seem to fit together
or making things seem "sweet" or flavorful by fats and safe spices(ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, vanilla, maybe pinch of clove), then leaning to my few fruits, then finally maple last off i still do sparingly.....
we should have a recipe thread or something....trying to think a few topics alot on this dietary stuff but im still figuring out whats even up with me and priorities ;P
