Hi all,
I'm a newbie-oldie here (was around about 5 years ago when I first learned I had an AF but haven't been on the forum since then).
I'm just wondering if anyone has tried the low FODMAP diet and if so, what their experience of it was? My dietitian recommended I try it and right now I am on day 11. Problem is, it has made my constipation even worse than ever (I have IBS-C) which has cause my AF to flare up again badly. Ouch. Prior to the diet, I regularly drank prune juice to keep me, well...regular, and when that failed I would take Movicol - but tried to avoid this as much as possible as it gives me bad stomach cramps. I let my dietitian know I have been having major issues since starting the diet and she suggested trying psyllium which I tried today but just ended up with really bad bloating, distension and severe pain.
Has anyone else tried this diet, had a similar experience and overcome constipation? I have an appointment with my CRS in a month so will chat with him about it too...but in the meantime, I'd love to hear from others who have been through this.
