FODMAP is an acronym, coined by researchers at Monash University in Australia, for those poorly absorbed, short-chain carbohydrates that can trigger GI symptoms seen in people with digestive sensitivities, including Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

The Low FODMAP Diet has been clinically shown to reduce GI symptoms in 70% of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Your gastroenterologist may suggest a low FODMAP diet.

The Low FODMAP Diet App from Monash University, available on your smartphone, provides easy access to the amount and types of FODMAPs in foods and beverages.

Many people living with digestive sensitivities, including those with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, are not medically diagnosed.
