Your coworker was probably referring to the low-FODMAP diet. People say it works and some doctors recommend it, but the data isn't quite there yet. Either way, yeah it's worth a try for people with GI issues. For anyone considering it, the highest quality information will come from your health provider.

IMO it's a workaround and doesn't address whatever core issue someone might have, but often with GI stuff we don't have a "cure" so workarounds are all people have.

That seems like a dubious assertion in a thread about peoples intestinal flora being destroyed by recommendations from their "health provider"s.

I personally got the low fodmap recommendation from my health provider.
