The Low Fodmap Diet Cookbook: Essential Guide to Manage Digestive Disorder, Heal Gut and IBS With Delicious Recipes (ePub)

When a person knows the difference between high and low FODMAP foods, it makes it more straightforward for them to incorporate them into a diet. Both categories contain a wide range of food groups.

Food is a common trigger of digestive symptoms. Interestingly, restricting certain foods can dramatically improve these symptoms in sensitive people.
In particular, a diet low in fermentable carbs known as FODMAPS is clinically recommended for the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

This article explains what a low-FODMAP diet is, how it works and who should try it.

How does a FODMAP diet work?
It is important to note that low FODMAP diets are restrictive and should be temporary.

A low FODMAP diet involves three phases:

• Elimination: In this phase, which can last from 3-8 weeks depending on a person's response to the diet, a person eliminates all high FODMAPs from their diet.
• Reintroduction: Once the elimination phase is over and a person's symptoms have returned to baseline or are significantly improved, they can start reintroducing FODMAP foods into their diet one at a time, about every 3-7 days. This can help a person identify which foods trigger their symptoms.
• Maintenance: The maintenance phase involves returning to a regular diet as far as possible, limiting only the FODMAP foods that cause IBS symptoms. Eventually, some people may be able to incorporate all or most FODMAPs back into their diet without symptoms.
