What is the Low FODMAP Diet?
If you live with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), your doctor or dietitian may have recommended a low FODMAP diet. FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols) are types of carbohydrates found in everyday foods like onion, garlic, wheat, beans, and apples.
For people with IBS symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, wind, diarrhoea or constipation, these carbohydrates can trigger flare-ups. That’s why a low FODMAP diet can be such an effective tool in managing gut health.

Is the Low FODMAP Diet Healthy?
The low FODMAP diet is not designed for weight loss but rather a diet for IBS. When guided by a dietitian, it is both safe and effective. The diet has three phases:
-
Elimination Phase – temporarily avoiding high FODMAP foods to reduce symptoms.
-
Reintroduction Phase – systematically testing foods to identify your personal triggers.
-
Personalisation Phase – reintroducing as many foods as possible to build a balanced, long-term diet.
Important: Staying on the elimination phase permanently is not recommended, as it may unnecessarily restrict nutrients like fibre and prebiotics.
