The low FODMAP (Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols) diet is a diet that eliminates foods that are high in short-chain fermentable carbohydrates. These types of fermentable carbohydrates, while incredibly good for our gut, can lead to excessive bloating, discomfort, pain or changes in the bowel for some people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It is a diet that is only intended to be followed for a short elimination period, followed by a reintroduction phase.

There is a large overlap in symptoms of IBS and endo and many people are diagnosed with both endometriosis and IBS at the same time or separately across their lives. It is for this reason that people believe that the low FODMAP diet is useful in endo and there is some research that is beginning to show that the diet is incredibly beneficial in the way of reducing symptoms in those who have both IBS and endo.

I think it is important to reiterate that it is not a diet that should be followed long-term, especially for those with endo, as it is a very limiting diet and restricts many healthy foods which are rich in prebiotics and provide health benefits. My suggestion is if you are thinking about going on this diet, speak with a dietitian who can help you move through the phases and identify which FODMAP foods are your personal trigger foods.
