If you suffer with symptoms of IBS, you know that digestive troubles and pain can disrupt your day-to-day life. Fortunately, researchers have come up with a new treatment plan to help you control symptoms: a low-FODMAP diet. FODMAPs are a collection of short-chain carbohydrates that are difficult to digest and found in many common foods, like wheat, milk, beans, and some vegetables, fruits, and sweeteners. The Everything Guide to the Low-FODMAP Diet walks you through the step-by-step process for identifying your individual sensitivities--and gives you options and substitutions so you can enjoy your favorite foods again.

Learn how to:

• Understand food allergies and intolerance
• Identify high- and low-FODMAP foods
• Eliminate FODMAP sources from your diet
• Stock your pantry for success
• Create your own personalized diet based on your unique needs
• Re-create favorite recipes using low-FODMAP ingredients
