What is Low FODMAP?
As explained by Monash University, the term FODMAP refers to a group of sugars that are not completely digested or absorbed in our intestines. When they pass through our intestines, they are fermented by gut bacteria — producing gas and attracting water.
In people with IBS and sensitive guts, this stretching of the intestinal wall can result in sensations of pain and discomfort.
Definition
FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides And Polyols. These short-chain carbohydrates are found in a wide range of foods and most people eat them every day without issue.
Through careful laboratory analysis, experts were able to measure individual foods’ FODMAP content. Registered Dietitians can use this data to put you on a vegan low FODMAP diet for 2-6 weeks — followed by a reintroduction phase.
Because we’ve witnessed too many people abandoning their plant-based diet due to digestive issues or restrictive protocols like a low FODMAP diet, we wanted to exemplify that it’s possible to stick to vegan low FODMAP foods while healing your body.
