3. Track your FODMAP
FODMAP is an acronym that stands for: Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. Your body might have difficulties in digesting these types of carbohydrates so it might be best to stay away from them in order to avoid bloating and discomfort. Foods high in these carbohydrates include fruits, vegetables, dairy products, wheat, and beans. Therefore, it would be suggested that those with IBS speak to their doctor and dietitian in order to map out which FODMAP foods to avoid.
