Role of FODMAPs in Managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

2015-01-08 19

Are you familiar with a low-FODMAP diet? FODMAPs are a group of certain sugars and fibers in the diet that cause GI distress because they are poorly absorbed by the small intestine. In fact, 75% of IBS sufferers get relief from IBS symptoms when following a low-FODMAP diet. Registered dietician Patsy Catsos often recommends a low-FODMAP diet along with the probiotic medial food, VSL#3 to help patients in her practice manage their IBS symptoms and enjoy the foods they love.
