In the realm of dietary plans aimed at managing digestive discomfort, the Low FODMAP diet has emerged as a promising approach. FODMAPs, an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, are types of carbohydrates that can trigger digestive symptoms in some individuals. This dietary protocol, initially developed by researchers at Monash University in Australia, has gained popularity for its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other gastrointestinal issues.
Before starting a low FODMAP diet, it is best to be screened for celiac disease to ensure that this is not the cause of your GI discomfort.
