FODMAP

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. These are sugars that are poorly digested by the small intestine. When they reach the colon, these sugars are fermented by gut bacteria, which can cause bloating, abdominal pain, and gas, especially in people with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.

There are six main types of FODMAPs:

1. Fructan (and inulin): found in garlic, onion, wheat, rye, leeks, or artichokes.
2. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS): found in legumes such as chickpeas, lentils, red beans.
3. Lactose: milk sugar, present in cow's milk, yogurt, fresh cheese, or cream.
4. Fructose (in excess of glucose): found in some fruits like apple, pear, mango, honey, or agave syrup.
5. Sorbitol: a polyol naturally present in apples, pears, plums, apricots, and used as a sweetener (E420).
6. Mannitol: another polyol, found in mushrooms, celery, or used as an additive (E421).

The low FODMAP diet aims to reduce the intake of these sugars to relieve digestive symptoms. However, it is important to follow this diet under the supervision of a healthcare professional (nutritionist, dietitian, or doctor) to ensure proper nutritional balance and avoid overly restrictive food exclusions in the long term.
