What ks the Fodmap diet?
In simple terms, it is a method of eating by healing the intestine and reducing gut and digestive inflammation.
"FYI" gut or intestinal inflammation can also leave people with an issue called (flatulence) or pardon me bluntness...."farting/pasing wind".
There are 5 categories.
1. Fructans: sources are found primarily in wheat, garlic, onions 🌰, and other certain vegetables.
2. Fructose: sources-present in many fruits (like apples and pears 🍐), honey and high Fructose corn syrup.
3. Gos: Galacto-oligsaccharides, present in lugumes, beans, lentils and some nuts.
4. Lactose: Sources-Primarily dairy based products and those with the lactose sugar.
5. Polyols: Sources-sugar alcohols 🍸 like sorbitol and mannitol found in certain fruits (eg apples, cherries) and artificial sweeteners.
Impact....(polyols can also lead to digestive issues due to poor absorption in the small intestine).
