The book starts out...
I've been to some truly amazing homes.
To explore these unique places, I've had
to bend, and shrink, and squeeze, and
let myself be transformed in weird and
wonderful ways.
I've curled up in a hazel leaf,
and disappeared under a stone, and bathed
in a drop of dew...
I've woken up as an ant. And a bird.
Even a sea snail.
And I've imagined life in these homes,
all so very different to my own.

I live in the vertical plane,
in a complex structure
made from the strongest
and most elastic material there is.
If it gets damaged, I recycle my wheel
by eating my house of silk.
That gives me the energy
to weave a new one.
In this satin-smooth spiral,
mind where you put your feet.
Because at dinner time,
it's better to be the host than the guest.

The Low FODMAP
The Best Ways to Start and Follow the Low FODMAP Diet
The High FODMAP Foods to Avoid
What does FODMAP stand for? It is an acronym
Fermentable - foods our guts do not fully digest that
Oligosaccharides - fructans and galacto-oligasaccharides
Disaccharides - sucrose, lactose, maltose
Monosaccharides - simple sugars such as fructose and glucose
And Polyols - found in stone fruits, sugar-free
"FODMAP encompasses a group of small carbohydrates, including sugars and fibers, that tend to be poorly immersed in the gastrointestinal tract. These inadequately digested sugars can draw water into the small intestine and present as a source of nourishment for the gut microbes residing in our colon, leading to the production of gas. This gas and additional water can become trapped in the intestines or stretch the intestines, contributing to troublesome digestive symptoms."
