Irritable Bowel Sundrome (IBS) is common and until recently the management of symptoms has been difficult. However the link between food intake and symptoms is now widely recognised and the majority of sufferers can now experience relief in symptoms with specific dietary modification.

The FODMAP's Diet offers relief of symptoms in the majority of sufferers. FODMAP's are widespread in the diet and are made up of monosaccarides (fructose), disaccaride (lactose), ologosaccarides (fructans & galactans) and polyols. Eating these foods may worsen the bloating, pain and abdominal distension associated with IBS. A low FODMAP's Diet provide relief of these symptoms in most cases.
