Low FODMAP diet is usually continued strictly for 4-6 weeks and then foods are slowly reintroduced. Since you also have gastritis, your stomach is quite sensitive and that explains the bloating even with water. While travelling, try to stick to simple light foods â plain rice, boiled vegetables, bananas, avoid anything spicy or oily. For water, small sips throughout the day works better than drinking large glasses at once. Continue your current medications as prescribed and don't stress too much about the travel â keeping meals simple is the key.
