What is FODMAP?

Per Wiki "FODMAP is an acronym, derived from "Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides And Polyols". They are short chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. They include short chain oligo-saccharide polymers of fructose and galactooligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, and maltitol. Most FODMAPs are naturally present in food and the human diet, but the polyols may be added artificially in commercially-prepared foods and beverages."


Googling it you can find food list and better break down of issues involving it. Some find they have issues with them in addtion to gluten when first diagnosed compounding issues.

Few other sites explaining it better

I found this very helpful. Thank you. After dx of Celiac also autoimmune pancreatitis, Sjogren's and more. Took time and elimination to find I must adhere to Fodmap and Nightshade free diet and strict gluten free. No corn, no oats, no rice, absolutely no grain of any kind. It leaves me, after years of back and forth elimination and reactions to be able to eat lean fish and poultry, and about two vegetables. One fruit. Balancing low fat on top of trying to maintain weight. I hope I am the exception. One other family member has the same, several others with different autoimmune disorders.
