What is FODMAP?
The main dietary components that cause the bowel to distend are known as fermentable, poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates. In other words, they are indigestible sugars that provide fast food for bacteria. Such sugars have been given the acronym FODMAP which stands for:
Fermentable – rapidly broken down by bacteria in the bowel
Oligosaccharides – fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS)
Disaccharides – lactose
Monosaccharides – fructose
And Polyols – sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol and maltitol.
The Low-FODMAP Diet has been proven to work in the treatment of IBS symptoms in both the short and long term.
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics (commonly known as friendly or healthy bacteria) are live microorganisms that promote a healthy digestive tract and a healthy immune system. Basically, they balance gut micro flora.
Only 10% of bacteria are “bad” (disease causing) while the other 90% are “good” bacteria. Good bacteria are necessary components for human life. The human gut houses a staggering 10 to 100 trillion microbes from 500 to 1,000 species – more than 10 times the number of cells that make up the human body. So essentially, you are more bacteria than human!
