What is FODMAP — and why does it matter for IBS?

FODMAP is an acronym for a group of short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. For people with IBS, these unabsorbed carbohydrates travel to the large intestine where gut bacteria ferment them — causing gas, bloating, cramping, and changed bowel habits.

F
Fermentable
by gut bacteria
O
Oligosaccharides
fructans (garlic, onion, wheat), GOS (legumes)
D
Disaccharides
lactose (milk, soft cheese, yogurt)
M
Monosaccharides
excess fructose (honey, apples, mango)
A
And
P
Polyols
sorbitol & mannitol (stone fruits, sweeteners)

The low-FODMAP diet — developed by Monash University in Melbourne — helps people with IBS identify their personal trigger foods through an elimination and reintroduction protocol. Clinical trials show it reduces symptoms in 50–75% of people who follow it correctly.

This guide rates ingredients based on Monash University's FODMAP data. Serving size matters — many foods are low FODMAP in small amounts but become high FODMAP at larger portions. Where this applies, individual pages explain the threshold clearly.
