The term FODMAP is an acronym for "Fermentable, Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols".[1]
Overview
FODMAPs are highly fermentable but poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates and polyols.[1]
| Examples | |
|---|---|
| Oligo-saccharides | fructans: grains, inulin galactans: pulses and beans |
| Di-saccharides | lactose |
| Mono-saccharides | fructose |
| Polyols | some (stone) fruits |
Medical uses
Low FODMAP diet may help treat irritable bowel syndrome according to a systematic review of randomized controlled trials[2] and a more recent trial[3]. Included in the systematic review was a trial that combined low FODMAPs and high dietary fiber.[4]
