Overview

The Low FODMAP Diet is a dietary regimen designed specifically to help persons with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and other functional gastrointestinal disorders control their symptoms. The major goal of this diet is to limit the consumption of foods high in particular fermentable carbohydrates, or FODMAPs. Some people have difficulty digesting these carbohydrates, which can cause symptoms such as gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and stomach discomfort. The letters FODMAP, which stand for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, represent numerous types of carbohydrates that the small intestine may be hard to digest correctly. Recognize FODMAPs Oligosaccharides occur in grains such as wheat, rye, onions, and legumes. Disaccharides are found in dairy products such as yogurt, soft cheeses, and milk, with lactose being the most common type. Monosaccharides are primarily composed of excess fructose, which can be found in honey, high-fructose corn syrup, and various fruits. Polyols, or sugar alcohols, can be found in several fruits, vegetables, and artificial sweeteners. People with sensitive guts may experience pain and changes in their bowel movements as a result of the intestines becoming strained due to poor glucose absorption.
