FODMAPs Forever? Not the Answer

So often I hear: “Someone told me to try a FODMAP diet… my bloating improved… so I just stayed on it.”

The problem:

❌ FODMAP foods include so many fruits and vegetables that are packed with fibre, antioxidants, and essential nutrients.
❌ Staying on this diet long-term can leave you unnecessarily cutting out amazing, healthy foods.
❌ Over time, it can even lead to nutrient deficiencies.

FODMAPs diets do have their place - they can be a brilliant short-term tool to calm symptoms and give relief. But they’re not designed to be forever.

The real goal?

🌿 Use FODMAPs temporarily (1–3 months) while we identify and address the underlying causes of bloating — like gut bacteria imbalance, enzyme production, or stress disrupting digestion.

🌿 Then, carefully reintroduce foods so you can enjoy variety, nutrients, and freedom in your diet again.
Restriction should never be your permanent solution.

💡 Bloating isn’t always about the food.

It could be intolerances, SIBO, dysbiosis, parasites, stress or even inflammatory foods. No wonder it feels confusing when you’re trying to figure it out alone.

That’s why in clinic I dig deep with your history and, if needed, run testing so we can actually find the cause. Treat it properly. And let you get on with life without the bloat.

👉 Drop a comment if stress, food or “who knows what” seems to set off your bloating. And if you’re ready to stop guessing, book a call and let’s get clear on what’s driving it.

Bloating isn’t always about what you ate.
Sometimes, a hidden cause is low stomach acid (low HCL).

Signs to look for:
✔ Burping soon after eating
✔ Food feeling “stuck” in the throat or not going down smoothly
✔ Reflux or heartburn
✔ Bloating straight after meals

Over time, low stomach acid can even lead to nutrient deficiencies, like low B12 or iron as your body isn’t breaking down food and absorbing nutrients properly.

If you’ve been chasing “trigger foods” but still feel bloated, it might not be the food itself, it could be your digestion not doing its job.

💡 Getting to the root of bloating means looking deeper than just your plate.

💡 Feeling puffy and uncomfortable after meals? Let’s strip it back to basics. sharing my top 3 tips to reduce bloating:

💡 Mindful eating – chew slowly and let your gut catch up.
💡 Meal spacing – give your digestive system a solid 4–5 hour gap between meals so it can actually do its job.
💡 Skip the big icy drinks with meals – cold fluids can dilute stomach acid and make bloating worse.

These are simple, tried-and-true strategies that often make a huge difference.

👉 Which one are you going to try first , mindful eating, meal spacing, or no cold drinks? Drop it in the comments.

And if you’ve already ticked these boxes but you’re still dealing with bloating, it’s a sign we need to dig deeper. Book a call and let’s figure out what your gut is really trying to tell you.

When your digestion needs a little extra support, a few natural helpers can make all the difference:

Ginger & Peppermint – calm and soothe the digestive tract, easing discomfort.
Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) – taken before meals or used in dressings, it can stimulate digestion (bonus, can also help regulate blood sugar).
Iberogast – my go-to if bloating or tummy upset hits suddenly. It’s a gentle herbal blend I always keep on hand for emergencies.

None of these are “magic fixes” but used at the right time, they can take the edge off discomfort and give your digestion a boost.
