1. IBS gastrointestinal disorders

Almost two-thirds of IBS patients associate symptoms from the digestive tract with food - improperly absorbed carbohydrates found in food, etc. In dairy products, legumes, cabbage vegetables, as well as heavy-duty foods, fatty foods, spicy foods and popular uses such as coffee, alcohol can cause or worsen symptoms.

2. Is that how fodmap works in irritable bowel disease?

A low FODMAP diet relieves the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. Although the positive effects of a restrictive diet are clearly emphasized, it is worth noting that not all foods in the FODMAM group can aggravate the gastrointestinal symptoms. The onset and severity of symptoms are individual depending on the degree of absorption disturbance. There are two main mechanisms responsible for causing symptoms in IBS patients.

3. Dietary guidelines with a small amount of FODMAP

A diet low in fermenting oligo-, di- and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP is short for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharids, monosachcharides & polyols) allows you to identify products that cause discomfort. Recommendations from Monash University suggest eliminating FODMAP-rich products for 68 weeks and then gradually introducing them under dietary supervision after 8 weeks.

4. What are the symptoms of fodmap intolerance?

Symptoms may occur almost immediately or after a period of time, most commonly abdominal pain, diarrhea and/ or constipation, vomiting, swelling.
