Low FODMAP

"Low FODMAP" stands for "Low Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols." These are specific types of carbohydrates or sugars that some individuals find hard to digest, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort, particularly for those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The low FODMAP diet aims to reduce these fermentable sugars to alleviate symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain.
