Do you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
If you are experiencing unpleasant symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation, IBS might be the cause.
Understanding IBS symptoms can be difficult and frustrating. If you have IBS, it can feel like you never know how your body is going to react when you eat. That's because IBS symptoms are usually triggered not by an individual food but by one or more simple carbohydrates found naturally in a wide variety of different foods.
You may have heard or read about high and low FODMAP foods. FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols. Fermentable simply means that these carbohydrates are broken down (fermented) by bacteria in your gut. Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols are just scientific names for different simple carbohydrates.
