Have Your Cake And Eat It Too: 5 Low FODMAP Desserts For People With IBS

FODMAP

When you’re living with IBS, a non-irritating diet is important. While people can respond to the same foods differently, doctors have high hopes for the FODMAP diet. 

What Does FODMAP Mean?

The term FODMAP stands for “fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols” and a diet that’s low in these foods may work for people with IBS. While you shouldn’t follow the diet strictly for more than 6 weeks, it can give your stomach a break from irritating foods. Some of the foods you can eat include lettuce, carrots, strawberries, eggs, and butter so desserts aren’t off the table.
