Irritable Bowel Syndrome (low FODMAP diet)
FODMAP (fermentable oligosaccharides disaccharides monosaccharides and polyols) are found naturally in many foods. They are a collection of short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that are not absorbed properly in the gut, which can trigger symptoms in people with IBS.
FODMAP’s are rapidly fermented by the bacteria living in our intestines to produce gas. FODMAP’s can also pull water into our gut. Water and production of gas stretches and bloats your gut to trigger IBS symptoms.
The low FODMAP diet works – research has shown that 3 in 4 people with IBS will feel better.
There are 3 important steps to the FODMAP diet:
- step 1 – low FODMAP (2-6 weeks)
- step 2 – FODMAP reintroduction (8-12 weeks)
- step 3 – FODMAP personalization
