Publisher's Synopsis
The low FODMAP diet is an effective strategy to reduce and control gut symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It is a complex dietary strategy that has been shown to be successful with the help and guidance of a registered dietitian. It's important to have as many meal ideas, brands, and recipes as possible, and knowing what to look for in a food label is key. It simply isn't good enough to be given a food list.
Yes, it can be a challenge to eat a plant-based low FODMAP diet, but it's possible. All it takes is a little planning. It's important to know that the elimination part of the diet is short-term (2-8 weeks), and there will be more options to choose from after that. The five nutrients to focus on getting enough of are calcium, iron, protein, vitamin B12, and zinc.
