High And Low FODMAP Foods

FODMAPs (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols) are undigested sugars (carbohydrates) that can cause bloating, gas, nausea, and gut pain. FODMAPS are prebiotics that feed gut bacteria. They are in grains, fruits, nuts, seeds, dairy, legumes, and vegetables. Gastrointestinal discomfort some associate with antinutrients can be due to FODMAPS.

A guide to over 100 high and low FODMAP foods including amounts in imperial and metric units for foods that can be eaten in moderation.

Allergens & Prepared foods

Food allergies can be serious even life-threatening. Most prepared foods list major allergens like eggs, milk, soy, and wheat, but there can be a warning in fine print about cross-contamination by other allergens.

A new trend to eliminate the need for a cross-contamination warning is adding the allergens to the food. This is convenient for the food maker, but reduces the variety available to consumers with food allergies.

The Elimination Diet

While foods are essential for energy, vitamin, and minerals, some foods can cause serious, even life threatening symptoms. Some diets eliminate whole food groups. That may eliminate the symptoms and cause nutrient deficiencies. The ideal solution is eliminate the worst offenders while obtain essential nutrients from food not dietary supplements.

This video shares how to find, limit, or eliminate foods that can cause gas, bloating, abdominal discomfort and pain, and other symptoms.

Gut Pain? Antinutrients vs. Prebiotics (FODMAPs)

Many fad diets associate painful gas, bloating. and nausea with antinutrients in plant foods. The same foods can have undigestible prebiotics know as FODMAPs. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. Fermentation is the culprit. These carbs are poorly absorbed by the small intestine become food for gut bacteria.

Simply eliminating a food or foods with an antinutrient like oxalate or lectin may not cure the problem. One can eat a low antinutrient diet and still have symptoms.
