Hi Everyone.
I decided to lose weight last Friday and I started Weight Watchers last Saturday. I was feeling so crappy that I became determined to feel better. Well come to find out I have Fructose Malabsorption and Lactose Intolerance. I found out when I became bedridden with abdominal pains, diarrhea, bloating, headache and extreme gas. I knew I was lactose intolerant but I used to cheat and just suffer the gas.
Well its day 2 and I had to go to the doctor because my stomach was spasming.
So I got sent home with a lot of stuff to research and now I'm bummed out because I don't know how to do this. The list of foods to avoid are most of the foods I eat.
How am I supposed to lose weight now when I have to learn a new way to eat. It was hard planning weight watchers meals...now I look at the cupboard and don't know what to put in my mouth.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is in just about everything. Fructose/ Fructans are in some fruits and vegetables. Lactose is in Dairy. Sugar alcohols are no problem for me because I steer clear of them after a similar episode with some Sugar Free Chocolate.
I just feel alone. I wonder is there anyone out there who went on the low FODMAP diet and lost weight on their eating plan and feels better now?
