What exactly is the low-FODMAP diet and what are FODMAPs? Scientists have discovered that FODMAPs, a collection of short-chain carbohydrates (sugars and fibers) that are difficult to digest, are often the source of digestive issues and are now known to trigger symptoms of IBS and SIBO. FODMAPs are found in many common foods like wheat (pasta, pizza, bread), milk, beans, apples, mushrooms, honey, agave, inulin and other vegetables, fruits, and sweeteners.
"The low-FODMAP diet can be confusing but with my book, sufferers of IBS will quickly become acquainted with low-FODMAP foods and ingredients thus boosting their confidence and creativity to make satisfying meals, even if they lead a busy life."
