What foods are high/low in FODMAPs
Three people sit on a red picnic blanket, eating takeaway food in black containers with chopsticks—rice, vegetables, dumplings, and meat—enjoying both high FODMAP foods and low FODMAP foods. One holds a sandwich; bags and a drink rest nearby.

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.
