Navigating a low FODMAP diet can feel confusing, but understanding which foods are high or low in FODMAPs is a key step to taking control of your Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) symptoms. At FODMAP Friendly, we’re here to help make it easier with scientifically tested and certified foods, helpful resources, and practical tools. Our goal is to give you the knowledge to eat with confidence.


What are High and Low FODMAP Foods?
FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates that can cause digestive symptoms in people with IBS. They are found naturally in many everyday foods. For some, eating too many of these can trigger uncomfortable symptoms. The low FODMAP diet is a proven, evidence-based approach to managing these symptoms by temporarily limiting high FODMAP foods.
At FODMAP Friendly, we simplify this process for you. We provide reliable, scientifically tested information and practical tools to help you make confident food choices without all the guesswork.
