Читать книгу Low-Carb Diet For Dummies - Katherine B. Chauncey - Страница 72

Fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides and monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that can induce abdominal symptoms that are similar to people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Some people’s small intestines poorly absorb this group of carbohydrates.

The FODMAP food list is extensive and includes milk, dairy products, legumes, cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and cauliflower, some fruits, and grains, especially wheat and rye. Many of these foods are gas-producing foods. Other symptoms of carbohydrate malabsorption are diarrhea, pain, and bloating. In 2005, a low FODMAP diet was introduced as a therapy for IBS. Since then the mechanisms of action, food content of FODMAPs, and efficacy of the diet have been extensively studied. In many parts of the world, the low FODMAP diet is now considered a frontline therapy for IBS. Before you consider the FODMAP diet, consult with your healthcare provider and a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN).
