At A Glance: FODMAPs are a group of fermentable carbohydrates and polyols commonly found in various foods. These include certain oligosaccharides, disaccharides, and polyols. These fibers may be challenging for some people to digest completely. The health benefits of consuming fermentable, prebiotic fibers are well-established. They help nourish the gut microbiome and support overall digestive health. However, in some individuals, consumption can lead to bloating and other digestive concerns. Thus, intake can lead to issues such as: Abdominal distention Abdominal discomfort Bloating Constipation Diarrhea Gas A low FODMAP diet is intended as a short-term solution. People typically struggle with compliance on the very restrictive low FODMAP diet. It’s also confusing and frustrating.
