7. Well, broccoli is a no-no to start with for me

And no one is taking away my coffee (it's OK for low FODMAP; so is tea).
This is a diet where you cut a lot out, see how you feel, and then try adding stuff back.
The final remedy my doctor wanted to try is an antibiotic called Xifaxan. It's supposed to cure SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth), which I MAY have developed after taking a sulfa drug last year, I'm hesitant to go here because it would cost me around $500 for the two-week treatment (that's WITH my Part D contributing lol).
