A low FODMAP diet is a specialized eating plan designed to reduce the intake of certain types of carbohydrates that are known to cause digestive issues. FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides, And Polyols) are short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. These can lead to symptoms such as bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, particularly in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
