Quoted from Lola

what s up with FODMAPs and the Irish???
there must be some form of connection.....

Who do you think got me onto this      

C_sharp, your thoughts make a lot of sense- thank you!
So off to get my SWAMI I go....

swami rocks. but fodmap's has a place too... i overlay them with swami taking 1st place, so if it's not on swami it doesn't get eaten. but if it's on swami and it's a low fodmap, i't gets a gold star. the low fodmaps that are ben or super beneficial get the 2 gold stars.

And by the way Lola, did you think you would get away unscathed, taking potatoes away from the Irish BTD'ers

The cat's owners, Stephanie and Darryl Mann, told the Coventry Telegraph their pet, named Lola, which is not yet a year old, was trapped in the bin for 15 hours.

NO we scream let Lola out .. what about the person taking the video ..the cat was locked up for 15 hours??

it was a closed circut tv camera, so just recording, not maned by a person. what a witch, bad things will happen to her.

how she lovingly tricks poor Lola!!!! not fair!!!

PC yesterday I had added onions with my meat.. 1 small glass -cellery 2 stalks 3 small carrots- JUICED.. .. today I am all puffy.. could it be the combo fruit and veg juices.. ????? ....

that could just be the onions Goldie - what exactly do you mean by puffy? PM if you like

knowing you the carrots were probably not small, why not just just eat them raw and give the juicing a miss. or have them steamed.

also don't eat fruit  or veg within three hours of eating other fruit or veg. so you keep any load of whatever is casuing you a problem down to a minimum

list me in detail what you ate today missing nothing and including approx weights. also how much awater give times of all foods and the time of puffiness.

include all sweets, ice creams, coffee and anything else including if you take any drugs.

for those looking around or trying to follow other forms of 'diet typing' and systems
making you believe they are the answer.....
this here is a must read!!!

Do you mean anything connected to this thread as well 'cos that link doesn't seem to relate to any of this?

Don't worry Lola just r4ecovering from being stuck in a bin for 15 hours. lol not relevant at all.

They are a response to metabolic diet, which some people who knock the BTD say works, but actually there is no little evidence to back this up. and the people recommending it always seem to have a financial interest or incentive to promote it. all rather shabby in my opinion.

Fructose malabsorption and any recommended low fodmap diet is a separate thing altogether it's not trying to replace anything it's a diet that may solve separate issues, it is not trying to replace the BTD, it's a separate entity altogether.

eventually a few people will realise this and stop going on about it so much. I live in hope.

So to clarify yet again, mt first rule is follow swami and the BTD, then i tweak that with foods that i know to be low in fodmaps. if a low fodmap food is not on my swami i do not eat it!

peace and love lol

Like Dr. D himself says, "Keep what works".

Good advice! the science of waste basketry, if it works keep it, if it does not work BIN it.

So with you on that one!!! We are all individuals & no one knows that more than us nonnies

The Italians, they'll get there in the end, bless them....

From that same article pc -

"While scientists puzzle out the details, parents can approach dinnertime negotiations with renewed determination." Yeah but only if they all read & agree with this

talking about which, Emily had a bit of a reaction today while standing next to a fence that was being painted with a creosote based paint.  a few house down our Park.

then discovered a relative of her mum's had the same thing happen 25 years ago. brought him out in boils all over his body in seconds.

Emily's eased down after a few hours but only when olive oil was applied.

food seems to be sorted but chemical sensitivey still there. the research continues.....

Goodluck!! I got petrol last night & was careful to request that the attendant filled my car... Even so, something made me break out last night...

speaking of which.....
does anybody have a clue as to the whys, in Michel Montignac s sudden death???
the so called father of orthomolecular, proponent of the glycemic index hype???

born in 44.....76 y o now, I believe is no age to die!!
causes of his death are apparently unknown??? strange!
all these diet gurus are slowly disappearing.....
wonder what his type was and what his fantastic diet looked like....
people have followed his advice for ages.....
I must confess, haven t read any book of his to this date......
I simply lacked curiosity, I guess

Seems to be very private...  
Just statements that he died (apparently in a clinic?) and had a private funeral.

2010 - 1944 = 66...  Basic math...  Yes, makes you wonder why he died...
