Low FODMAP diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) affecting one in seven Australian adults and is also common in the USA, Europe and many Asian countries. This condition is characterised by chronic and relapsing symptoms; lower abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, wind, distension and altered bowel habit (ranging from diarrhoea to constipation) but with no abnormal pathology.

Dr Sue Shepherd developed the low diet in 1999. She has proven, through her pioneering PhD research, that limiting dietarys is an effective treatment for people with symptoms of IBS. The low FODMAP diet has been published in international medical journals and is now accepted and recommended as one of the most effective dietary therapies for IBS.

The app includes the following:

  • Background information about FODMAPs
  • A food guide detailing the FODMAP content for hundreds of foods
  • A full recipe book including 79 original and nutritious recipes with professional photography
  • A shopping list for organising low FODMAP purchases
  • A one week challenge to trial and monitor a strict FODMAP diet, with the function to view detailed graphs of symptoms and the end of the week
