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.

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.

Many popular fad diets are nutrient deficient diets marketed to overweight and obese people with one or more chronic diseases.
Nutrient packed balanced diets like Mediterranean and DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) have been around for decades and in some cases millennia. They do not generate as much publicity or interest because they are not rapid weight loss diets. By eating a diet providing the nutrients your body needs, one can lose excess weight and keep it off.
