What are FODMAPs?

Avoiding them is not always easy as they are found in all different types of foods, natural and processed. Additionally, some people are only triggered by one or two of the FODMAPs, not necessarily all of them. The diet focuses on avoiding all fodmaps that irritate your digestive system for a certain amount of time, and then reintroducing them gradually.
