The acronym FODMAP comes from English and stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides and Polyols, that is, fermentable monosaccharides, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, and polyols.
This set of short-chain carbohydrates (mono-, di-, and oligosaccharides) and sugar alcohols (polyols) are naturally found in foods or are added as food additives. FODMAPs include fructose (when in excess of glucose), fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), lactose, and polyols (e.g., sorbitol, maltitol, xylitol, and mannitol).
In some people, the fermentation of these carbohydrates and polyols by the intestinal flora causes reactions such as poor digestion, excess gas, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, cramps, and constipation, symptoms of those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. Therefore, a diet considered FODMAP Friendly is one that contains low levels (or does not contain) fermentable carbohydrates and polyols. The low-FODMAP diet is used as the most effective dietary therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and symptoms of an irritable bowel, such as the symptoms described above. A low-FODMAP diet can also reduce symptoms of fatigue, lethargy, and poor concentration.
