Day 2/42

So far, so good. Matt felt much better this morning than he has been feeling in the mornings, and had minimal stomach cramping. I had some discomfort yesterday that is probably just my body saying "hey, what are you doing to me?". Yesterday was not about gorging myself and I'm a pretty good eater so that was part of the issue. The other part was there were foods I did not give up, that I probably should have. Like I said yesterday, once we get through these few items left (today or tomorrow), I'll be committing to this more.

Breakfast -

Cereal and Almond Milk (Kix are low FODMAP!!)


Lunch -
Chicken Salad with 1 celery stalk, mayo, salt and pepper on lettuce wraps
Small handful of walnuts


Dinner -
Five Guys Cheeseburger (double patty), wrapped in lettuce topped with low-FODMAP approved veggies
Regular fry to split
Soda Water


We wanted to give Five Guys a try because we read that they were relatively low-FODMAP friendly depending on how you order your burger. What we forgot about is the grilled onions, and that they would obviously grill the onions on the same grill as the burgers. I also mistakenly read that ketchup was likely okay for low-FODMAP. We both felt a little off after eating and chalked it up to the HFCS in the ketchup and fry sauce. Friday night was a long night because we needed to do some shopping for our low-FODMAP journey so we knew we wanted to give a fast food option a try on this night. It wasn't bad but we felt it could be better!
