Q. I’m going on vacation next week; should I start the diet now or wait till my holiday is over?
I just returned from a lovely holiday, and I hope that you have one to look forward to as well. As you get ready to start the FODMAP-elimination diet, you might be wondering about timing your start date before or after your vacation.
If you have a few days before the holiday it might be worth the effort to get started right away. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a vacation that isn’t punctuated by anxiety about where to find the next toilet? If you will be off work at home or visiting your mom who wants to help you try some new recipes, it could be an ideal time to focus on your own health and nutrition. However, if you will be traveling and eating in restaurants or in other people’s homes where you can’t control the food, you might want to wait until after your schedule gets back to normal,
