That is advice for general population, if you are following a low FODMAP diet then you need to avoid those during elimination phase.

You write: “In order to nourish existing bacteria, you must regularly eat prebiotic foods, among them onions garlic and asparagus”. However, in a Fodmap list I found these to be in the High F. list. So are they beneficial for IB-C or should be avoided?

Hi Helen,
I’m just learning all about that now. The ones I know have been tested and shown to thrive well through digestion are VSL#3 and Symprove. Actimel does well too.
See this study that Symprove did compares lots of brands and explains the process the probiotics go through to reach the colon. http://www.symprove.com/bioscience/evidence/ucl-study

I’m thinking if I’m eating a True Paleo diet 100% (no diary (except occasional grass fed butter) organic grass fed animal flesh, variety of sustainably (not farmed) caught seafood and poultry that are out in trees and grass taller than themselves all day eating bugs and fed grains non GMO no soy etc organic veggies only good fats no chemically washed industrial oils. Apply continually (daily) Intermittent fasting rules which make my body happy eating once a day, when I’m hungry, generally after 18-24 Hrs. I will fire up not only my mitachondria with additional 30 mins daily walking, swimming and getting sunshine on my body as close to midday as possible regularly to increase my vitamin D levels naturally and couple times a week do get puffed out doing short sprints, practice mindfulness my guess is all will come right NATURALLY without taking AMPK supplements. I make this assumption based on the 60kg’s I’ve lost. What do you think…
