The low FODMAP diet

A low FODMAP diet is a three-step diet used to help manage the symptoms of medically diagnosed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBS is a widespread gut problem characterised by abdominal pain, bloating and gas, as well as changes in bowel habits, such as diarrhoea or constipation. 

People living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease may also benefit from a low FODMAP approach, to help manage functional gut symptoms.

The low FODMAP diet aims to learn which foods and FODMAPs you tolerate, and which trigger your IBS symptoms. Understanding this will help you to follow a less restrictive, more nutritionally balanced diet for the long term that only restricts foods that trigger your IBS symptoms.
