Reply to "FODMAP AND caffeine, alchohol with jpouch"

Hi

This is from Sue Sheppherd and Dr Peter Gibson latest Fodmap book: The Low FODMAP Diet, 2013
Caffeine is a stimulant and in susceptible people can make the digestive tract work faster sometimes leading to loose stools or diarrhea. it is best to limit caffeine based beverages to e.g. no more than 3 medium strenght cups a day and to spread it out over the day.
Alcohol depends on the fructose load. Dry wine has min sugar and is not a problem ,but no sweet, sparkling or dessert wine.
Beer, ale and stout which all contain gluten are not suitable for people with celiac disease but are ok for people on low FODMAP diet. Spirits except rum are ok. BUT be careful with mixers. Limit to 2 glasses per sitting.
Take care
