FODMAP and dieting

[witchwhoknitssocks]

hi
Does anyone follow a FODMAP diet for IBS and also diet to lose weight? I am going to start FODMAP this week to try and get my IBS under control but need to lose weight and Im having trouble sticking with any diet at the moment.
I was thinking of maybe trying SW again as sick of weighing everything on Cal Counting but not sure.
TIA

Hi. I've done the FODMAP diet and come out the other side. There's stuff I can't touch, now, but at least I know what sets me off!
Are you doing this under a dietitian? I would just concentrate on the elimination phase, and then reintroduce stuff v slowly. This will all take about 4 months if done properly.
Then and only then would I look at dieting. I still struggle, but keep weight down doing 5:2.
