About FODMAPs and IBS

FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine, particularly challenging for individuals with conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerance, Gluten Intolerance, other food intolerances, and stomach sensitivities. These include short-chain oligosaccharide polymers of fructose and galactooligosaccharides, disaccharides (lactose), monosaccharides (fructose), and sugar alcohols (polyols).

The acronym "FODMAP" stands for:

• Fermentable
• Oligo-
• Di-
• Mono-saccharides
• And
• Polyols

Prior to the introduction of the FODMAP concept, dietary restrictions were not commonly utilized as first-line therapy for managing conditions like IBS, Crohn's disease, Colitis, Lactose Intolerance, and other gastrointestinal disorders. However, restricting certain carbohydrates has shown benefits in symptom control.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) encompasses symptoms like abdominal pain and altered bowel movement patterns without underlying damage. Common symptoms include abdominal discomfort associated with diarrhea or constipation along with changes in bowel habits.
