FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. It refers to a group of carbohydrates and sugar alcohols found in certain foods that some people find difficult to digest. Consuming high amounts of
FODMAPs can cause digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort, especially in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). A low
FODMAP diet involves avoiding foods high in these substances to alleviate digestive issues.
