Keep Tummy Troubles at Bay
Got a sensitive stomach? Or recently been diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)? Then you might be looking to go on a Low-FODMAP diet, an eating style designed to help alleviate symptoms of IBS.
A Low-FODMAP diet involves temporarily avoiding foods high in certain types of carbohydrates called fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). Once on the diet, foods can eventually be re-introduced, step by step, to determine which foods actually upset the stomach. We recommend working with your doctor and a registered dietitian (RDN) to help diagnose and manage IBS.
Here, we’ve rounded up some recipes to take some of the work out of putting together a low-FODMAP meal.
