It was in response to what one could eat/ate before FODMAPs. A bit far-fetched, sorry, but thought I'd share my experience.
In sum, I don't think what you can tolerate really changes over time. You have to figure out what you can and can't eat and then afterwards stick with those foods. at least in my experience.
