What is a low FODMAP Diet?

May 23, 2018 By LaVonne

Spread the love

This post is sponsored by ProNourishⓇ Drinks. I received free ProNourishⓇ drinks, but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

Have you heard about the low FODMAP diet? I hadn’t until recently. Maybe you have digestive sensitivities and know all about low FODMAP foods and the low FODMAP diet. But if you don’t know much, or are just learning about digestion issues and foods to eat and foods to avoid, then please read on.

What are FODMAPs?

low FODMAP Diet

source

FODMAP is an acronym for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols.

Foods that are high in FODMAPs all have a few things in common:

  • FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine
  • FODMAPs can cause excessive water to be drawn into the intestines
  • FODMAPs can become rapidly fermented by bacteria present in the colon, which produces gas
  • Water and gas can buildup which creates distension, cramps, and diarrhea or constipation
  • By reducing the amount of these specific types of carbohydrate you eat, digestive sensitivities might be minimized.

Basically, FODMAPs are a certain type of carbohydrate that can be poorly absorbed, resulting in severe abdominal pain, bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea and excess gas in some people. Research shows that a low FODMAP diet may significantly reduce symptoms of digestive discomfort for some people living with digestive sensitivities.
