What are FODMAPs?Updated a year ago

FODMAPs are a family of hard-to-digest carbohydrates and notorious gut symptom triggers (gas, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation) — especially for individuals with conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. The concept was discovered in 2005 by researchers at Monash University in Australia.
