A low FODMAP diet refers to a dietary approach that restricts the consumption of certain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols known as FODMAPs, which can cause digestive discomfort like bloating, diarrhea, pain, etc. A low FODMAP diet aims to reduce the intake of these substances to alleviate symptoms. This diet typically involves avoiding or limiting high-FODMAP foods such as certain fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products, and sweeteners. It is often recommended under the guidance of a healthcare professional and involves a two-phase process: a strict elimination phase followed by a reintroduction phase to identify specific trigger foods.
