TL;DR Summary

The low-FODMAP diet, designed to reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), has been found to significantly improve symptoms and quality of life for many individuals. This dietary approach involves eliminating high-FODMAP foods, systematically reintroducing them, and then creating a sustainable lifestyle based on individual tolerance. The diet focuses on reducing fermentable, short-chain carbohydrates that can be difficult for some people with IBS to digest. Working with a qualified dietitian and keeping a food journal are recommended for those considering this dietary approach.
