What are FODMAPs?
FODMAP is an acronym for fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols. These are basically all simple carbohydrates that can trigger digestive symptoms like gas, bloating, and stomach pain. Avoiding them is not always easy as they are found in all different types of foods, natural and processed. Additionally, some people are only triggered by one or two of the FODMAPs, not necessarily all of them. The diet focuses on avoiding all fodmaps that irritate your digestive system for a certain amount of time, and then reintroducing them gradually. The Fodmaps diet is often used for the Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) diet, to reduce to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract and bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine.
