What Is The Low FODMAP Diet?
FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates found in everyday foods that are commonly malabsorbed in the small intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation in those suffering with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
The Low FODMAP diet is the go-to dietary intervention for the 45 million Americans suffering with IBS. Studies show that following a Low FODMAP diet can provide complete symptom relief for up to 75% of IBS sufferers.
