Here we share the inspiring testimony of Lise, who used our VIP Dietitian service to get rid of her gastrointestinal problems. I hope it can motivate others to take care of their health. Her final message: The FODMAP solution really works!
« After several years of digestive problems and lack of sleep caused by poor digestion, my doctor finally discovered that I had Helicobacter Pylori bacteria in my stomach. I had to take a significant amount of antibiotics to destroy the bacteria. The antibiotics caused other health problems by destroying my intestinal flora. Then my family doctor retired, and I found myself on the orphan patient list. Before leaving, she suggested I see a dietitian.
I was really discouraged by my doctor’s retirement and my digestive problems. I went to see a dietitian, who told me that my symptoms were similar to IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). She told me about the low FODMAP* diet and gave me some information about it.
By chance, at the book store I came across the book “The FODMAP Solution: Put an end to IBS symptoms and abdominal pain” by Cinzia Cuneo and the Nutrition Team at SOSCuisine. I realized that the symptoms I was experiencing were indeed those of IBS. I started making the recipes in the book and I saw an improvement. I went to their website and subscribed to the VIP Dietitian service. With the help of the wonderful dietitian Kathryn Adel, I followed the FODMAP approach. Together, we determined which foods caused me severe stomach pain, gas, bloating, diarrhea, or constipation, and how much of each food I could comfortably eat. Everything was made easier by an exclusive mobile application, the ‘SOS FODMAP Wizard™’, which guides you step by step through the process and at the end generates the list of foods with the correct quantities.
