The Low FODMAP diet is a clinically proven treatment option for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Contrary to popular belief, the generic Low FODMAP diet is a temporary diet (not to be followed long-term or indefinitely).
The Low FODMAP diet is moderately restrictive and you may face some nutrient deficiencies or weight loss if you are not monitored by a trained professional.
The aim of the 3-stage diet is that you will be aware of the component of FODMAP that you are unable to tolerate and have a better idea of what to avoid to keep your gut healthy. Your specialty trained dietitian will work out an individualized diet plan for you to meet your nutritional needs.
