Though the FODMAP diet has been around for 15 years I haven’t had much to do with it. Mainly because it’s associated with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and other digestive disorders. But my digestive system is fine thank you. Despite being overworked!
Anyway, a friend asked me to take another look at food diaries. So I made a list of food-related diseases where food journals had contributed to research. Then I found that a diary had helped IBS sufferers improve their symptoms. In conjunction with a FODMAP food list.
That FODMAP diet food chart piqued my interest. But I wondered how comprehensive it was. However, I could not find a full list. So I decided to create my own here. Not that I’m claiming it as a complete FODMAP food chart just yet. Though I will add to it as I discover new FODMAP resources.

Rice and corn-based cereal are described as moderate in Mezzomo’s list[2]. Also, Mezzomo lists oats as high FODMAP. But Zahedi includes oats-based foods in the low FODMAP list. So I’ve omitted oats from the chart pending further investigation.
I’ve taken FODMAP foods from various resources[*]. If you know other sources please let me know.
