What Today’s Consumers are Looking For

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects 1 in 7 people globally, and is characterised by symptoms of pain, changes to bowels, gas and bloating. 1 FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols) are short chain carbohydrates that are poorly digested in the small intestine and contribute to these symptoms in people with IBS.
