Low-FODMAP Diet: Ideal for IBS, Minimizes Bloating & Gut Distress
For many living in India and beyond, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) brings uncomfortable symptoms—bloating, gas, cramps, diarrhea, or constipation. The Low-FODMAP Diet, developed by Monash University, is one of the most evidence-supported dietary strategies to manage and reduce these symptoms by limiting certain fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) (Wikipedia, Health).
How It Works
FODMAPs—found in foods like garlic, onions, beans, apples, and milk—are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. When they reach the colon, gut bacteria ferment them, producing gas and drawing in water. Result: bloating, cramping, and discomfort—especially for sensitive IBS digestive systems (Health, The Washington Post).
New Insights: Leaky Gut Healing & IBS Relief
A recent study in 2025 shows the low-FODMAP diet improves intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and reduces immune cell activation in IBS-D patients (Medical Xpress). Another trial suggests a simplified elimination of key FODMAPs (like fructans and GOS) can be nearly as helpful and more manageable (JWatch).
