Low FODMAP Diet

A low FODMAP diet short-term limits fermentable carbs to calm IBS symptoms, then reintroduces foods systematically—not a forever elimination plan.

A low FODMAP diet temporarily limits fermentable carbs—onions, garlic, certain fruits, wheat, lactose—that trigger bloating and pain in irritable bowel syndrome for many people. It is a short elimination and structured reintroduction protocol, not a permanent lifestyle.

Dietitian guidance prevents nutrient gaps.

Common questions

  • How long should you stay on strict low FODMAP?

    Elimination phases typically last two to six weeks under guidance, then foods are challenged one by one. Long strict cuts can reduce fiber and microbiome variety.
