Frequently Asked Questions
Can a low-FODMAP diet cure IBS?
No, it doesn’t cure IBS, but it effectively manages symptoms in ~70% of people with IBS. It’s a tool to identify trigger foods, not a permanent solution. For long-term gut health, combine it with:
- Stress management (e.g., mindfulness, exercise).
- Adequate fiber (from low-FODMAP sources like oats).
- Probiotics (if tolerated).
Warning: Self-diagnosing or overly restricting FODMAPs can harm gut bacteria—consult a healthcare provider first.
Why do I feel worse when starting the low-FODMAP diet?
Possible reasons:
- Fiber changes: Sudden reduction in high-FODMAP fibers (like wheat or legumes) can cause constipation. Add low-FODMAP fiber (oats, chia seeds).
- Over-restriction: Cutting out too many foods can disrupt gut bacteria. Stick to the elimination phase for only 2–6 weeks.
- Hidden FODMAPs: Check labels for sneaky ingredients (e.g., garlic powder, inulin).
- Non-FODMAP triggers: Stress, caffeine, or fatty foods may also aggravate IBS.
Solution: Work with a dietitian to adjust the plan.
Are probiotics helpful on a low-FODMAP diet?
It depends:
Advice: Try a low-FODMAP probiotic (e.g., Align or Culturelle) after the elimination phase. Avoid probiotic yogurts with high-FODMAP additives.
Some probiotics (e.g., Bifidobacterium infantis) may improve IBS symptoms.
Others (especially prebiotics like inulin or FOS) can worsen bloating (they’re high-FODMAP).
How do I reintroduce FODMAPs properly?
Test one group at a time (e.g., fructose, then lactose, then sorbitol).
Start small: Eat a small amount (e.g., 1/4 cup mango for fructose) and wait 24 hours for symptoms.
Increase gradually if no reaction (e.g., 1/2 cup next day).
Keep a journal to track triggers.
Space tests 3 days apart to avoid confusion.
Example: Reintroduce garlic (fructans) separately from onions (also fructans), as tolerances may differ.
