I followed the FODMAP diet for a two weeks and found out that high fructose corn syrup and sucrose are my triggers for bloating and stomach discomfort. Any sugar will cause inflammation spike which in turn causes higher level pain in joints and muscles. Now, I’ll be honest it took me years to finally learn and accept these facts, and it’s helpful to know this stuff, but I’m struggling to give up sweets and fruits. Elimination diet is best way to determine if food is a trigger for your symptoms. Good luck!

Yes chronic pain is the worst :( It can be really hard to keep going sometimes when it just feels like it’ll never get better.

Something that I’ve been looking into that could help with the chronic pain is an app like Nerva or Mahana IBS that focuses on the gut-brain connection. Learning about that could be a good way to help reduce your symptoms and pain!
