The Complete Low FODMAP Diet Plan: Relieve symptoms of IBS using a food-first approach

by Priya Tew

Overview

Everything you need to know about the low-FODMAP diet for IBS, Crohns disease, celiac disease and other gut disorders, including a complete diet plan and 75 gut-friendly recipes to help you on your way

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 personalization 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.
