How it works
FODMAPs are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and fermented by gut bacteria, producing gas that causes pain and bloating in hypersensitive bowels.
Requires guidance from a dietitian for the reintroduction phase. Long-term restriction is not recommended as it alters gut microbiome diversity. Not suitable with a history of eating disorders.
Multiple high-quality RCTs and systematic reviews show 50–75% of IBS patients achieve significant symptom relief on a low FODMAP diet.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
