Irritable tummy?

Lots of folks suffer from digestive issues, and have been diagnosed with IBS-irritable bowel syndrome.  Gas, rumbly stomach, spending too much time in the bathroom.  This can really become a pain.

While it’s been theorized that this is stress related, it can also be caused by food intolerances.

Another theory is that the main cause of IBS are foods that are gassy/bloating.  These foods are now called FODMAP, which stands for Fermentable Oligosacchrides, Disaccharides, Monosaccgardies and Poyols.  Huh?  

Whatever it stands for, if you have stomach issues  go to this link.  It lists foods that are high FODMAP (best to avoid) and low FODMAP (best for your digestion).

It’s worth a try!
