low FODMAP

Low FODMAP refers to a diet that restricts the intake of certain types of carbohydrates known as FODMAPs, which stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols.

The low FODMAP diet involves avoiding or minimizing the consumption of high-FODMAP foods for a specific period. After this elimination phase, gradually reintroducing FODMAPs one at a time helps identify which specific types of carbohydrates trigger symptoms in an individual. This allows for a more personalized and sustainable approach to managing gastrointestinal symptoms.
