This is a list of short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are poorly absorbed by the stomach causing abdominal pain and bloating. This diet is also known as the elimination diet. This diet has you eliminate those carbohydrates and sugars cause the gut pain and then slowly add them back in to your diet. As you add them back, you’re able to see what foods do and don’t bother your stomach. This is NOT a long-term diet. Repeat, THIS IS NOT A LONG-TERM DIET. It is also not an easy diet. With so many fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy, and sugars you can’t have, it hard to keep up. I’ve done this diet for a year now, which is longer than the time you have to do it, but I did it this long so I could really get rid of those previous toxins in my body and let my gut have time to heal. Now, I’m on the journey of slowly adding foods back into my diet. What I hope to do is start a food diary of some sort, that way I cant keep track of what I eat and how I felt after reintroducing foods to my gut.
