Experience with FODMAP diet

Hello,

I'm under investigation for some digestive troubles. For now, the GI specialist suspects irritable bowel syndrome. There are still investigations to be done and I'm waiting for some biopsy results.

Depending on the results of the rest of the tests, she suggested trying the FODMAP diet. I've read a bit about it and it seems very complicated. I'm eating a mostly plant-based diet (around 1 meal of fish and 1 meal of meat per week and vegetarian the rest of the time).

Does anyone have some experience with this diet? Is it possible to do while eating intuitively? From what I read it requires a look of calculationand a long way from what I'm used to do.

I'm also responsible for feeding the rest of my family, it looks like a lot of work to plan for 2 menu every meal. I'm wondering if it's worth it.

Thanks for your thoughts!
