The Low FODMAP Diet Approach: A Three-Part Series
Your doctor has suggested a Low FODMAP Diet to reduce gas, bloating, and diarrhea but you have no idea where to begin.
We can help.
Your doctor recommended trying a Low FODMAP Diet for your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, but you are overwhelmed trying to make sense of FODMAPs.
You want to understand FODMAPs and how they can worsen IBS symptoms.
You’re worried that a Low FODMAP Diet will be difficult to follow or unenjoyable.
You don’t even know where to begin with the elimination, reintroduction, and personalization phases of the Low FODMAP Diet.
Phase 1 - Learn about the elimination diet, the benefits, how to prepare yourself, learn to read labels, and start to eliminate high FODMAP foods in your diet.
Phase 2 - In this phase you’ll start adding back some of the foods that you eliminated in Phase 1, and monitoring your reactions.
Phase 3 - Review and reflect on Phase 1 and Phase 2, get tips to personalize your diet, tips to help you manage intolerances, and what to do if symptoms increase with eating a FODMAP trigger.
