Main Points From Today’s Episode
- FODMAPs in an acronym that stands for different fermentable carbohydrates. By following a diet that’s low in FODMAPs for a period of time, digestive symptoms can be improved in many folks.
- Once someone has followed a low-FODMAP diet for a period of time, the different categories of FODMAPs can be added back in, one at a time. When reintroducing foods, you’ll want to track your symptoms to see how you feel.
- The intention of a therapeutic diet is not permanent. The foods that can cause a reaction need to stay out of the diet while the body heals.
