What is the FODMAP Diet?
FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. These are short-chain carbohydrates poorly absorbed by the intestine, which ferment and cause IBS symptoms.
The 3 Phases of the FODMAP Diet
Phase 1: Elimination (2-6 weeks)
Strict reduction of FODMAPs to calm symptoms. This phase should be supervised by a certified professional.
Phase 2: Reintroduction (6-8 weeks)
Systematic testing of each FODMAP group to identify your personal triggers.
Phase 3: Personalization (long-term)
Creating a diet adapted to YOUR tolerances, as liberal as possible.
