Due to the bacteria that inhabit our organisms and thanks to the foods that are considered Fodmap, yeasts tend to ferment them and produce ethanol.

Ethanol can be a cause of drowsiness that occurs after eating in some people, in addition to producing a considerable increase in gases in the body.

So thanks to the fact that the Fodmap stay much longer in our small intestine, bacteria and yeast tend to take advantage of these foods as an energy source by fermenting them and producing a very annoying situation in some people.

The Fodmap diet, shows us a viable way to avoid these situations, especially considering those people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome.

This diet Fodmap proposes to eliminate some foods that are characteristic for containing simple carbohydrates that tend to stay longer in the body.

Low diet in Fodmap

Several countries have taken the diligence to investigate the effects of this diet, such is the case of the United Kingdom, where they took 82 people with the irritability syndrome.

And the data showed that, those who were prescribed by a normal diet did not have as many improvements compared to the group with low diet in Fodmap which had an improvement of 86% of all their irritable bowel problems.

It should be noted that this study did not monitor the medications used by people. And this, only represents one of the many studies carried out to verifyto veracity of the low Fodmap diet.

So far these studies have been done on a very small scale and also have to take many considerations before practicing such diet, as it would mean a change in the long-term microbial system of the body, which by the way, has not had no specific study.

On the other hand, it can not be ignored either that the consumption of Fodmap can suppose a series of benefits for our organism, such are the cases of:

• Increase in fecal density.

• Efficiency when absorbing calcium.

• Stimulation in some components in the micro biota tract.

• By last, the production of important fatty acids for our organism.

First point of course is not to extend for a long time, if you suffer from irritable bowel, just feel better reintégrate to a normal diet, and of course while you are in the course of implementing this diet in you, do it slowly while your body becomes accustomed.

The second point, I will illustrate it through a table where I will show you which foods to avoid and which ones you should integrate in your Fodmap diet.

Level two and three: A full inspection of the relevant symptoms of the irritable bowel should be made, in case of having them or not having them, this information will give the opening to level three where it is sought to reintroduce Fodmap foods to the organism.
