3. Who Is The Diet For?

Although a low FODMAP diet was created in order to help IBS sufferers, it can be useful for those individuals with functional gastrointestinal disorder and autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and eczema.

These individuals tend to be the most sensitive to FODMAPs, whereas most individuals can digest them without a problem. The reason for this is that these carbohydrates tend to bring water into your digestive tract, which can lead to feelings of bloating. So, if you suffer from any of these conditions it might be helpful to try and stick to a low FODMAP diet in order to see if it is right for you.
