Lets talk FODMAPs?
FODMAP stands for fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols .
These are the scientific terms used to classify groups of carbs that are notorious for triggering digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, and stomach pain.
FODMAPs are found in a wide range of foods in varying amounts. Some foods contain just one type, while others contain several.
The main dietary sources of the four groups of FODMAPs include:
Oligosaccharides: Wheat, rye, legumes, and various fruits and vegetables, such as garlic and onions.
Disaccharides: Milk, yogurt, and soft cheese. Lactose is the main carb.
Monosaccharides: Various fruit including figs and mangoes, and sweeteners such as honey and agave nectar. Fructose is the main carb.
Polyols: Certain fruits and vegetables including blackberries and lychee, as well as some low-calorie sweeteners like those in sugar-free gum.
Trying to get to the bottom of food allergy triggers - takes time & patience, but perseverance does pay off in the relief you feel by eliminating the offending/trigger foods.
And unfortunately, you need to go through an elimination process to identify your individual triggers - this is referred to as an elimination diet, where over a period of time you eliminate the likely suspects, then gradually introduce one at a time, recording the body’s response.
It does take time, but the long-term gains are truly worthwhile.
