Well, applause Maria, you wanna be a vegetarian? Congratulations. And you gave two examples of foods that are the highest in FODMAPs, and I don't know if you've heard of the low FODMAP diet, but FODMAPs are fermentable strands of sugar. So it's fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides and no fod, oligosaccharides, fod, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. Yes, it's a, it's a mouthful. So individuals that are having trouble with foods that are high in FODMAPs, which is like onions and garlic, um, and legumes, especially soybeans and sweet potatoes, my first suggestion to you would be to find out what's going on in your gut. Do you have irritable bowel syndrome? Do you perhaps have sibo, which is small intestinal bowel overgrowth? Do you have maybe celiacs or gluten insensitivity or dairy, dairy insensitivity? And I would look into that first. And the people that I would suggest you visit for that would be a naturopathic physician or a dietician or a clinician that does functional medicine. So they've done training in, in nutrition as a treatment for illness, not just preventative. And get yourself a diagnosis. You absolutely can become a vegetarian if you are reacting to FODMAPs. Some people just need to be FODMAP free and then they can introduce them back in. But if I were you, I would suggest seeing someone to figure out what is at the bottom of it. And you might never know what's at the bottom of it. And you might need to do an elimination diet, which is try a diet for three to four weeks that is FODMAP free and you can go online, F-O-D-M-A-P, fodmap, free diets, they're all over the place. And if that doesn't work, then try eliminating all gluten for a month and see how you feel or all dairy for a month. But I'd, I'd prefer that you had a guide helping you with that.
