If you have inflammatory bowel disease and also irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a low-FODMAP diet may be helpful. FODMAP stands for the short-chain carbohydrates known as fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. Soeat high-FODMAP foods have an increased risk of problems like diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, and flatulence. FODMAPs include the following: disaccharides, such as lactose (in milk and other dairy products) monosaccharides, such as fructose (for example, in apples and honey) oligosaccharides, such as fructans (in wheat, onions, and garlic, for example) and galactans (commonly found in beans, lentils, and soybeans) polyols, such as sorbitol and mannitol (in some fruits, vegetables, and artificial sweeteners).
