Thanks for the concern

I'll pass on the gluten balls thanks, I don't really have a need to eat gluten.

I'm very well aware of FODMAP having spent more than two years healing gut issues, including figuring out which FODMAPs I have a problem with, testing different foods etc.

I've gone from being able to eat only plain well cooked chicken and potato, to now being able to eat a good range of foods. This was accomplished with a comprehensive programme ( my own design) probiotics, digestive enzymes, other supplements and strict food restriction to allow my gut to heal.

In two and a half years I've gone from being hospitalised and seriously ill with gut issues on IV antibiotics (after getting progressively worse with gut pain, constant diarrhea - upwards of 20 times a day - and nausea), to no diarrhea at all, no nausea and no pain (apart from after testing garlic recently to see if my gut could now handle it - turns out very tiny amounts or infused is fine, but larger amounts are a no), and off of all gut related medications.

So yes, I'm aware of how complex and difficult gut issues are, and the patience that is required in healing the gut.

As you can probably tell, I'm really proud of being able to solve an issue that doctors had no clue about and were happy to just ignore as chronic.
