AB  - A diet low in fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) has been found to significantly reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The diet is best implemented in two phases: initial strict elimination of foods high in FOD-MAPs, then gradual reintroduction based on symptoms. Further study of this diet’s effect on intestinal microbiota is needed.
