Low FODMAP at Disney

[Tom P.]

Greetings!

Our next trip to Walt Disney World is booked for September. The dining has always been one of my favorite parts of the trip. Other than a nut allergy, which was easy to manage, neither I nor my family have ever had any dietary restrictions in the past. Unfortunately, that has changed.

Unfortunately, I am now suffering badly from IBS and related issues in a severe way. I think a good part of it has been brought on my medication changes, and I am still working with the experts to try to find root causes, but at the moment a complete low FODMAP diet is the only way I can effectively manage it and not have it interfere with my life.

I know Disney has always been great about accommodating people with dietary challenges, but I also know that low FODMAP is not one of your standard options (e.g., allergen-friendly, vegan, etc.). Does anyone have experience trying to eat low FODMAP at Disney? Any recommendations? We'll be doing a combination of quick service and table service while we're there.

Thanks for any information!

I have the same ailment. I control mine through diet and exercise. I swim quite a bit. I tried FODMAP, but I wasn't so great with it. Have you tried asking your gastro about Florastor? It's a pretty good probiotic to take. Hope you have a wonderful trip!
