The low FODMAP food list includes a variety of vegetables, fruits, proteins, breads and more - but what makes a food low FODMAP? In general, FODMAP is an acronym that stands for: Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols.

As a result, some individuals may experience pain, bloating and digestive symptoms. By sticking to the foods listed on the low FODMAP food list, these individuals can avoid ingredients that lead to this digestive discomfort.
