Nestlé Health Science has recently launched http://www.lowfodmapcentral.com a comprehensive resource on FODMAPs and a Low FODMAP Diet Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a condition that can impact up to 1 in 8 people, and is characterized by gut symptoms including abdominal pain, intestinal gas/wind, bloating, and changed bowel habit (ranging from diarrhea to constipation).
Symptoms can often be debilitating and lead to a reduced quality of life.
Based upon an approach that limits the intake of dietary sugars capable of distending the bowel and triggering a range of symptoms, The Low FODMAP Diet was established by Monash University in Australia in 2005, and is increasingly being accepted as the primary management strategy for IBS.
