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!<\/p>\n
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<\/a>. In conjunction with a FODMAP food list.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nFODMAP Foods Chart<\/h2>\n
