    Wait garlic and onions are high fodmap foods?

    I am going to have to laugh at the next MD who thinks they know what I should eat better than I do. They always recommend low fodmap.

      Yeah the whites of all onions and their cousins are high fodmap. Green onions are ok in moderation, and the green parts of leeks.

      Hey, hey there Robert Kennedy, just settle down and take your ivermectin. Your brain worm is acting up again.

        As much as I’m on team pro-science, doctors are not omniscient, and lots of people have the experience of needing to direct their medical care at some point in their lives. Blindly accepting medical advice can be just as harmful as “doing your own research,” as any woman who’s gotten the old “have you considered that you’re faking it?” or “but your labs are fine so…” run-around can attest.

        that worm died and you know it

        /uj they tend to recommend i eat foods i’m allergic to, because they refuse to read medical records. US doctors are effective at regurgitating information but not actually thinking through problems.
