        Haha. If only it was just that. My IBS is triggered by them. If I am diligent in avoiding them, I have a normal life.

        Worth noting that there is a direct correlation between gluten percentage and fodmap percentage in foods, and many people who believe they are gluten sensitive are likely FODMAP sensitive and missed the target on their self-diagnosis. And likely, they aren’t having 100% normal digestion because they are missing the bigger picture of what FODMAPs are and just how many food sources contain high amounts of them.

        I miss garlic, onions and mushrooms a lot too.
