https://youtu.be/Vz7ZogVbYBw

FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) are undigested sugars (carbohydrates) that can cause bloating, gas, nausea, and gut pain. FODMAPS are prebiotics that feed gut bacteria. They are in grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, dairy, legumes, and vegetables. Gastrointestinal discomfort some associate with antinutrients can be due to FODMAPS.

Allergens & Prepared foods

Food allergies can be serious even life-threatening. Most prepared foods list major allergens like eggs, milk, soy, and wheat, but there can be a warning in fine print about cross-contamination by other allergens.

A new trend to eliminate the need for a cross-contamination warning is adding the allergens to the food. This is convenient for the food maker, but reduces the variety available to consumers with food allergies.

Gut Pain? Antinutrients vs. Prebiotics (FODMAPs)

https://youtu.be/YCf3h9eNywA

Many fad diets associate painful gas, bloating. and nausea with antinutrients in plant foods. The same foods can have undigestible prebiotics know as FODMAPs. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. Fermentation is the culprit. These carbs are poorly absorbed by the small intestine become food for gut bacteria.

Simply eliminating a food or foods with an antinutrient like oxalate or lectin may not cure the problem. One can eat a low antinutrient diet and still have symptoms.

Oxalate And Low Oxalate Diets

https://youtu.be/-_ylBzeu0fQ

People at high risk of having calcium-oxalate kidney stones are encouraged to eat a low oxalate diet. After numerous comments about my August 2019 High Oxalate Foods Facts & Myths video having outdated information, I resisted the subject. Not only is the information in the previous video still relevant, there has been no new developments.

Fad low oxalate diets for the masses are designed to increase meat and fat consumption, increase dietary supplement sales, and reduce plant food consumption. Ironically, there is significant data high plant food diets, including high oxalate foods, are linked to long, healthy lives.
