The FODMAP Diet For Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common condition that affects roughly 10% of people worldwide. The most common symptoms of IBS are cramps, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Research has long supported the theory that symptoms of IBS are exacerbated by certain foods that cause inflammation of the digestive system. In recent years, a new diet has been developed by a team of researchers at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, which aims to tackle the symptoms of IBS by circumventing the foods that trigger it. This is known as the FODMAP diet.
