Low FODMAP Diet

The Low FODMAP diet is intended to be administered and monitored by a healthcare provider.

What Are FODMAPs?

FODMAPs are a group of foods that are poorly digested in the intestines. When FODMAPs reach the small intestine, they move slowly, attracting water. When they pass into the large intestine, FODMAPs are fermented by gut bacteria, producing gas as a result. The extra gas and water cause the intestinal wall to stretch and expand generating sensations of pain and discomfort.

What Is the Low FODMAP Diet?

The low FODMAP diet was invented by Monash University. The low FODMAP diet is a three-step elimination diet recommended under the supervision of a health care for the purpose of identifying foods that cause symptoms. Watch Monash University Video to Learn more.
