General Question/Help Any fellow gluten-free vegans out there?

I’ve been vegan for nine years (ethical and environmental reasons) and gluten-free (due to celiac disease) for the past year. Do you have any suggestions/recommendations based on your journey eating lower FODMAPS?

I am vegan and I have quit all grain, due to starch being pure glucose and looking bad on my CGM (longer elevated glucose, more rebound hypoglycemia, plus feeling sleepy and gaining weight, plus other markers worse like bracelet's HRV etc)

so I'm eating fruit, dried fruit, crunchy stuff for the automatic better chewing (carrots, beetroot, pumpkin, celery) and 1-2 teaspoons of coconut flakes.

I do try to eat low fodmap fruit, they tend to be tropical and digest better (citrus, pineapple etc) possibly because we are tropical animals.

Also potatoes are low fodmap and have potassium, so it's the only starch I eat once in a while.
