Low FODMAP
What is a Low FODMAP Diet?
FODMAPs are a group of sugars found in certain foods that cannot be completely absorbed by the bodies intestines and can aggravate gut symptoms in sensitive people.
Following the Low FODMAP diet can for many help with their IBS symptoms.
All of our Bakerbee Bakery products are made with Low FODMAP ingredients.
“Put simply, FODMAPs are a collection of short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that aren’t absorbed properly in the gut, which can trigger symptoms in people with IBS. FODMAPs are found naturally in many foods and food additives.”
I was diagnosed with IBS over 10 years ago and the advice then was to eat healthy and to take medication. While this did ease some of my symptoms I was still prone to horrible IBS attacks that seemed to come out of nowhere. This not only affected my physical health but also my mental health.
I was advised by my dietician to follow the Low FODMAP diet. At first it was over whelming, cutting out onion and garlic especially felt like there wasn’t much I could eat and trips to the supermarket could take hours as I checked every label. in the end if I really missed a item then I had to find a way to make it myself.
For me the Low FODMAP changed my life, I knew now what would trigger me and I was able to control my symptoms for the most part. IBS attacks no longer came out of nowhere.
FODMAP stands for
