What are FODMAPs? FODMAPs are a collection of molecules, more specifically short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols, found in foods naturally or as food additives. FODMAPs include fructose (when in excess of glucose), fructans, galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), lactose and polyols (eg. sorbitol and mannitol). When consumed in foods and/or drinks, FODMAPs can be poorly absorbed in the small intestine and pass through to the large intestine, where two major events happen: • The FODMAPs are readily fermented by bacteria in the large bowel, contributing to the production of gas. • The FODMAPs are also highly osmotic, meaning that they attract water into the large bowel, which can alter how quickly the bowels move. These two processes can then trigger symptoms including excess wind, abdominal bloating and distension, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhoea, or a combination of both.
