Limiting certain carbohydrates that are harder for the gut to digest—specifically types of sugars and fibers that can ferment in the intestines.

A Low FODMAP diet is an eating approach that reduces specific types of carbohydrates that some people have difficulty digesting. These carbohydrates—found naturally in many everyday foods—are made up of short-chain sugars and fibers that don’t fully break down in the small intestine. Instead, they travel to the large intestine where they ferment, producing gas and drawing water into the gut. For many individuals, especially those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or sensitive digestion, this process can lead to bloating, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, or general abdominal discomfort. The purpose of the Low FODMAP diet is to temporarily limit these fermentable carbs to calm the digestive system and reduce symptoms. Foods high in FODMAPs include certain fruits, vegetables, dairy products, grains, legumes, and sweeteners. During the first phase of the diet, these items are reduced or avoided while focusing on low-FODMAP alternatives that are easier on the gut. After the initial symptom-reduction phase, foods are reintroduced one group at a time in a careful, structured way. This step helps identify which specific FODMAP categories trigger symptoms and which are well tolerated. The end result is a personalized eating plan that supports digestive comfort while still allowing for a varied and enjoyable diet.
