Fructans, Fructose, Lactose, Polyols, Galacto-Oligosaccharides,
FODMAPs, which contain Oligo- Di- Mono-saccharides and Polyols, are fermentable fibers and therefore can cause unwanted bloating, gas, and G.I. distress in those that have gut dysbiosis (an imbalance of microorganisms in the intestines.) This is why many adopt a low FODMAP diet for a period of time until they can heal and balance the gut.

Perhaps you’ve heard of FODMAPs or the low FODMAP diet? FODMAPs are a collection of short chain carbohydrates, or sugars, that aren’t absorbed by the gut and can cause gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort for some people. @TheGutHealthMD, gastroenterologist Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, named the most common FODMAPs he sees in the average diet:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥛🧀Lactose – A disaccharide found in dairy products like milk, ice cream, and some cheeses.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍎🍯Fructose – A simple sugar found in many fruits (cherries, watermelon, apples), some veggies (asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes), high fructose corn syrup and honey.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌾Fructans – Oligosaccharides found in a variety of foods, including gluten containing grains (wheat, barley, rye) as well as fruits and veggies (garlic, onions).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Galacto-oligosaccharides– Complex sugars classically found in beans.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🍬Polyols – Sugar alcohols like mannitol and sorbitol, often found in artificial sweeteners and some fruits and veggies.

What experience do you have with a low FODMAP diet?
