Low FODMAP Diet: The D.I.Y Beginner’s Guide (Plus PDFs)
Do you often experience digestive stress after eating certain foods?
Can the discomfort be so severe that it affects your day-to-day activities?
The link between foods and digestive disorders is well recognised, and there is a good chance that FODMAPs – small carbohydrates in certain foods – are the culprit.
As a food intolerance dietitian, I’ve seen how remarkable a low-FODMAP diet can be for people with chronic gastrointestinal symptoms… things like recurrent bloating, gas, cramps, diarrhea or constipation. This diet is one of the natural ways known to alleviate such chronic symptoms.
