Non-FODMAP trigger foods
Even though they are low FODMAP, certain foods and drinks can be gut irritants. If
you have IBS, it is best to limit these to small serves and eat/drink them slowly and
mindfully.
Non-FODMAP food triggers include:
 Alcohol
 Caffeine





Spicy food
Rich & fatty foods
Large amounts of overly sweet foods
Carbonated soft drinks
Too much fibre, too little fibre or the wrong types of fibre
Other Non- FODMAP triggers include:
 Stress & anxiety
 Eating too fast
 Certain medications or supplements

Before you Start
1. What are FODMAPs?
FODMAP is an acronym for groups of short chain carbohydrate or
“sugar” molecules that may be poorly digested in the small intestine.
They continue their path along the digestive tract to the large intestine,
or colon, where they become fast food for the healthy bacteria that live
there.
As FODMAP pass through the digestive tract, two events occur which
may cause IBS type symptoms such as gas, bloating, abdominal pain or
alter bowel habits (constipation and/or diarrhoea).
1. FODMAPs are osmotic – they attract water and draw water into
the digestive tract. This extra fluid causes matter to move more
quickly along the digestive tract and may also cause watery stool
or diarrhoea
2. FODMAPs are fermented in the Large intestine by the healthy
bacteria that live there. When these healthy bacteria consume
FODMAPs, they create gas as a side effect. This results in gas
which swells the large intestine creating a feeling of bloating and
irritating the nerve endings around the bowel.
Fermentable
Oligosaccharides
Di-saccharides
Monosaccharides
And
Polyols
Carbohydrate molecules that are fermented in the
bowel creating gas as a side effect
Short chains of sugar molecules found commonly in
wheat, asparagus, barley, rye, onion, garlic, some nuts
and legumes, watermelon, artichoke
The double sugar - Lactose in milk and milk products
Fructose in excess of glucose found in honey, apples,
pears, agave, mango, high fructose corn syrup
Sugar alcohols, sorbitol and mannitol, found in
mushrooms, cauliflower, stone fruit, artificially
sweetened gums and nutrition bars
The low FODMAP diet is not a forever diet. It is instead designed to be used as a tool to
identify the sorts of foods that trigger IBS symptoms in each individual. These trigger
foods will vary from person to person, to know your individual triggers it is necessary to
move though the three phases of the low FODMAP diet:
 Phase 1: The low FODMAP phase. All high FODMAP foods are removed from
your diet for a period of 2-6 weeks. The aim of this phase is to determine if
removing FODMAPs makes a consistent improvement in your IBS symptoms.
 Phase 2: The Re-Challenge (reintroduction phase). Each FODMAP group is
challenge is a structured and systematic way to determine if it is problematic or
not and what amount of the FODMAP can be tolerated at any one time.
 Phase 3: Adapted low FODMAP diet. This phase of the low FODMAP diet is
where you use the information gathered during the Re-Challenge phase to
expand your diet as much as possible while still keeping IBS symptoms well
managed.
2. Gluten and FODMAPs
Gluten is the protein in found in wheat, barley and rye. FODMAPs are the
carbohydrate found in wheat, barley, rye, milk, sweeteners, certain fruits and
vegetables, nuts and legumes. These are different molecules that are commonly
found in the same foods.
Celiac Disease, when they eat gluten containing foods an abnormal response occurs
which results in damage to the lining of the small bowel. This has serious
consequences and may result in serious long term health problems. People with
celiac disease may have similar symptoms to those with IBS or no symptoms at all.
Currently the only treatment for celiac disease is a strict gluten free diet for life
including care with cross contamination.
IBS does not cause damage to the bowel, although it can cause rather “unfriendly”
symptoms that impact on a person’s quality of life. Since the bowel remains healthy,
the treatment for IBS to avoid trigger foods only to the level necessary to keep
symptoms settled at a tolerable level. In the case of IBS, it is most likely the
FODMAPs (or carbohydrate) in wheat products that are the culprit.
Not all gluten containing products are high FODMAP and some gluten is allowed on
the low FODMAP diet.
Similarly, not all gluten free products are low FODMAP and when choosing gluten
free foods you will also need to check for the presence of high FODMAP ingredients.
Low FODMAP foods that contain gluten:
 1 slice serve of wheat bread
 ½ cup serve of wheat pasta
 2 slice serve of wheat or spelt sourdough bread
 2 tablespoon serve of soy sauce
Gluten free foods that are high FODMAP:
 Besan/chick pea flour, coconut flour, lupin flour, soy flour
 Inulin/chicory root
 Certain fruits and vegetables including onion, garlic, apple
 Certain nuts and legumes
 Honey, agave
 Dried fruit
3. Dairy and FODMAPs
Lactose is a di-saccharide” and the “D” in the FODMAP equation. It is a double sugar
molecule made of glucose and galactose, found naturally in milk and milk products.
When the glucose and the galactose are bound together, they form lactose. To
digest lactose, the glucose and galactose must be separated to single sugar
molecules by an enzyme, called Lactase, that lives in the lining of the digestive tract.
Once they are separated, they are easily digested and absorbed. If an individual has
got low numbers of the Lactose enzyme, they will not be able to separate the
lactose, and it will remain in the digestive tract undigested. Like all FODMAPs, as
lactose moves through the digestive tract it can cause IBS type symptoms such as
pain, bloating, wind and altered bowel habits (constipation and/or diarrhoea)
Lactase enzyme can be added to milk and milk products prior to eating or drinking
(e.g. lactose free milk or ice cream). This can be done during manufacturer (i.e. in
lactose free milk) or purchased from a drug store in tablet form and taken with a
food that contains lactose. This is very effective, but be sure to check the
ingredients, some lactase tablets can contain other high FODMAP ingredients e.g.
mannitol.
Dairy foods that are allowed on the low FODMAP diet include:
 Some dairy products e.g. cheese do not naturally contain lactose and can be
consumed as normal on a low FODMAP diet. This includes all hard or set
cheeses i.e. Cheddar, parmesan, harvati, swiss, tasty, edam, camembert, brie,
all blue cheese, red leister, mozzarella, fetta, bocconcini
 Wet or fresh cheeses still contain small amounts of lactose and can be eaten
in small serves i.e. ricotta, cottage cheese, cream cheese, haloumi
 Milk and white chocolate also contain some lactose, and is best limited to
small serves on a low FODMAP diet.
 Greek yoghurt that has been made in the traditional way, is strained and
most of the lactose is discarded. This means Greek yoghurt can be enjoyed in
small amounts on a low FODMAP diet.
 Lactose free milk, sour cream custard, yoghurt, ice cream.
Nb: be sure to check lactose free products such as yoghurts, ice creams,
flavoured milks, for high FODMAP flavours or thickeners. These may include
high FODMAP sweeteners (fruit juices, honey, polyols), high FODMAP fruit
flavours (mango, pear) or high FODMAP thickeners (inulin, chicory root).
 Butter
Lactase containing products that require the addition of lactase include:
 All mammalian milks e.g. cow, sheep, goat
 Regular yoghurt
 Regular ice cream
 Regular sour cream
 Regular custard
 Whey powder/whey concentrate
 Kefir
 Evaporated and condensed milk
There are many alternative and plant based milks available in stores today. While
these are lactose free, they may be high FODMAP for other reasons. If you choose to
switch to a plant based milk, it is important to choose one that is nutritionally similar
to cow’s milk so as to ensure you meet calcium and protein requirements. We
suggest looking for an option with about 120mg/100ml or 30-35% calcium.
Low FODMAP plant based milks include:
 Soy milk made with soy protein
 Almond milk
 Pea milk
 Rice milk
 Hemp milk
 Other nut milks
High FODMAP plant based milks include:
 Coconut milk over ½ cup (4oz)



Oat milk or over ½ cup (4oz)
Soy milk made with soy beans
Plant milk with high FODMAP ingredients e.g. high FODMAP fruit flavours,
inulin, added fructose
Lactose and medications:
Lactose can sometimes be added as a filler in medications. This is only used in small
amounts and well below the cut off for lactose, so not considered a concern on a low
FODMAP diet.
Challenging (Reintroduction)
1. FODMAP Rechallenge Phase
Phase 2 of the low FODMAP diet involves Re-Challenging each FODMAP group to
assess for personal tolerance. This will provide you with the information you need to
Reintroduce FODMAPs into your diet into your diet and allow as much variety as
possible while still maintaining good symptoms management.
Similar to the elimination phase, you will continue to consume low FODMAP foods;
however, each week you will “Re-Challenge” a different FODMAP group in increasing
portion sizes to assess how your body responds. The portion size you tolerate, can
then be used to guide your reintroduction.
The following points are designed to help guide you through this phase:
 This process is meant to be done slowly and systematically. You will try a
new FODMAP group each week, Re-Challenging a food item specific to a
particular FODMAP group in increasing amounts (per tolerance).
 This phase is about testing your tolerance to each FODMAP group, so that
you can use this information and apply it to a variety of different foods.
Foods need to be chosen carefully to only include one FODMAP group.
 You can do challenges in any order, choosing one of the following to start
with: Oligosaccharides (Fructans and GOS), Disaccharides (lactose),
Monosaccharides (excess fructose), Polyols (sorbitol and mannitol)
 A key point to remember is that you want to only try one FODMAP type at a
time. For example, if you are Challenging dairy (lactose), then you will want
to try plain milk, not a milk product that contains other added FODMAP e.g.
high-fructose corn syrup.
 Begin with a small portion and advance each day if you experience mild
symptoms or no symptoms at all.
 Be sure to document which foods you have tried, how much, and associated
symptoms (if any).
 If the symptoms you experience are severe, then wait until your symptoms
resolve and try a different food item from the same FODMAP group or wait
until the end of the washout period to try a different FODMAP group.
 If you experience symptoms, return to the baseline low FODMAP diet. You
can also use other strategies that help to manage symptoms at this time,
such as peppermint tablets, hot packs relaxation techniques and so on.
Remember that you will want to continue to eat low FODMAP foods as you were
doing in the elimination phase, and not try anything new at this time.
2. IBS Symptom time frame
High FODMAP foods often cause symptoms in those with IBS within 6-24 hours. This
is the amount of time it takes for food you’ve eaten to reach the large intestines
where fermentation occurs. Symptoms occurring outside of this time frame may
indicate a different mode of action and we suggest talking to a specialist registered
dietitian.
Common symptoms associated with high FODMAP food/beverage intake include:
abdominal pain, distention, bloating, flatulence, cramping, diarrhea, and
constipation. The length of time symptoms persist is variable. Some individuals
experience resolution of symptoms within hours, some within 1-2 days.
3. Managing Symptoms
At some point during the challenge phase, it’s likely that you will experience some
sort of gut symptoms. There will also be times in the future that you overindulge or
come into contact with one of your bigger FODMAP triggers. This is not something to
feel bad about (no one can be strict all the time) and reactions to food can also be
inconsistent. Having a plan to manage this makes it less daunting and helps
symptoms to pass more quickly.
Revert to the low FODMAP Elimination diet


Stick with simple low FODMAP foods that you know are well tolerated.
Avoid high fat foods, rich or spicy foods, coffee, soft drinks and alcohol
Use behavioural techniques



Rest, meditation and mindfulness are all great ways to help realign the gutbrain axis
Fresh air & gentle exercise can help you feel better
Hot packs, hot baths or a gentle tummy massage are great for bloating
Treat your symptoms

Your healthcare professional may recommend suitable counter medications
like laxatives, anti-diarrhoea medications or anti-spasmodic




Casa de Sante LemonAID is great for calming the gut
Peppermint oil, peppermint tea & ginger may help with bloating and a queasy
stomach
Soluble fibre supplements (e.g. Metamucil® or Regular Girl® (PHGG) can
improve stool form
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water

Maintain low FODMAP diet in preparation for the
next Challenge. Do not introduce high FODMAP foods
even if they were successfully challenged previously.
It is recommended that you Re-Challenge the following food items which represent a
specific FODMAP group. You will also find various portion sizes that correspond to
days 1-3. Day #1 of reintroduction will always be a small portion to assess overall
tolerance of the FODMAP group being reintroduced. If Day #1 is tolerated well (mild
or no symptoms), you are encouraged to proceed to day #2 (medium portion) and, if
day #2 doesn’t cause moderate/severe symptoms, eventually to Day #3 (large
portion).
If you experience symptoms: You can stop the challenge at any time
that you experience moderate or severe symptoms. Remove the test
food from your diet and wait until the symptoms go away.
If you do not experience symptoms:
If you complete the full challenge
without experiencing symptoms, congratulations! You still need to
remove the test food form your diet and complete the washout phase
prior to commencing the next challenge.

By taking your time to determine which FODMAP groups induce symptoms, and
which do not, will enhance the variety of your diet tremendously. However,
individual responses to FODMAP reintroductions vary widely. There are few that
may be able to reintroduce all FODMAP groups in large serves, and there are some
who may only tolerate small serves of most FODMAP groups. If you find that you do
not tolerate any of the FODMAP groups upon Re-Challenging, consult with your
healthcare professional to discuss other possible underlying causes for your
intolerances.
