FODMAPs (Fermentable, Oligo/Di/Mono-saccharides and Polyols) are all types of carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. The low-FODMAP diet has been clinically proven to be effective in reducing IBS symptoms. The Complete Low-FODMAP Diet Plan is essential reading for those who have received a formal medical diagnosis and are seeking to alleviate the symptoms of gut discomfort through changes in their diet. This detailed handbook describes how the low-FODMAP diet works, details the FODMAPs to be avoided, and explains the three-stage process of elimination, reintroduction and personalisation in a comprehensive diet plan. It demystifies the reintroduction phase of the low-FODMAP diet, bringing clarity to a topic where information, knowledge and experience is scarce, and providing the reader with a structured reintroduction protocol to follow. The book also includes 75 tasty gut-friendly recipes. Readers who follow the low-FODMAP diet closely can experience less bloating and discomfort, a reduction in abdominal pain and other gut-related symptoms, and improved energy levels and mood.
