IBS & the low FODMAP diet
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder affecting approximately 15% of people worldwide. Characterised by lower abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating, wind, distension and altered bowel habit (ranging from diarrhoea to constipation), the condition causes considerable discomfort and daily disruption for the sufferer. Researchers at Monash University have developed a diet strategy to manage IBS symptoms known as the low FODMAP diet. FODMAPs are a group of carbohydrates.
This diet is the product of extensive research which has quantified the FODMAP content of hundreds of foods, described the mechanism by which the diet works and shown that a low FODMAP diet improves symptom control in approximately three out of every four people with IBS.
Join us as we go on a journey to understand the physiological effects of FODMAPs and the dramatic effects of a low FODMAP diet in people with IBS.
If you have any questions about the diet, please email fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
My favorite part is the visualization of the gut microbe releasing gas, and how it causes bloating and abdominal pain. Nicely done!
+Patsy Catsos The bubbles might be my favourite part too.
Hey
I have experienced bloating and constipation for many years, tried raw/vegan/paleo/scd.
So now I am trying Fodmap food plan and have been experiencing pain now as well as the bloating. Very frustrated😣
So this is the causes my anxiety trigger.. my stomach always feeling bloated
Jennifer Gardiner u should try physio... Coz it helps me a lot..
HV u gone through a colonoscopy?
My son missed 5 months of school with out of control IBS. Finally found a pediatric nutritionist who worked with us to change his diet to low FODMAPs (no one else even knew what this was). 2 years later, he's 12 years old and you would never know that he had such horrible problems. He knows how to "test" foods that are new and has successfully been able to add many foods back into his diet, some completely and others with limits. Life changing for him and the family. I just wish more American brands were tested. Thank you Monash University!
Thank you Monash , for ending my 8 year nightmare.
This needs more promoting, my GP recently suggested I look into the FODMAP diet. As I've suffered with IBS for over half my life I can honestly say it's amazing to eat without experiencing discomfort/bloating/pain after. I'm a vegetarian and always felt I was eating a healthy, mainly plant based diet... I now see the error of my ways using onion, garlic and mushroom in most of my meals. I've tried a gluten free, wheat free diet but never felt the relief I feel now. It's ashame I didn't discover this sooner! Thanks again :)
This is really comforting to hear - I'm almost 30 and have spent most of my life trapped indoors because of terrible IBS pain / issues. It's taken over my entire life..
Anyway I'm hoping to give this a shot soon - I'm rubbish with food and my ADD makes planning meals impossible lol - also I've been a vegetarian for the last 10 years also... so it's nice to know I wont have to give that up for my health.... not to often you hear of people having to think about eating meat for their health lol.
All the best.
Ive been doing it for 7 months now and its really helped. I have introduced somethings back gradually, like milk and not had a problem. Still avoid eating garlic and onion. Definitely recommend giving it a go, I take a multi-vitamin but my diet is still quite varied. :)
I'm a veggie as well and have bought recently their app and been using it for cca. 2 weeks. I can confirm that gluten and wheat free diet, with NO GARLIC, NO ONIONS and NO MUSHROOMS + NO COFFEE (AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! incl. sodas etc.) + NO CHOCOLATE (only dark) and only some types of dairy is a FUCKING MIRACLE! I haven't been feeling this comfort since a long time ago.
I think I memorized the list of what I cannot eat (the red foods) in 5 minutes, that's how much I wanted to get rid of this stuff; not even my career has seen such dedication in my life time, haha.
By the way, I take B12 under the tongue but I am getting really irritated, I tried taking it as a pill but still my IBS kicks in, did you had the same issue if you took vitamin B12 (for vegans)?
Alexandru Gheorghe hows you now???? What were d symptoms earli6
I sent this simple video on a complex subject to my family so that they would have a clearer understanding of my health situation. Thanks for creating it. Excellent tool for sharing.
+Donna deWitt-Schnell Great to hear that you found this helpful!
I'm a little late to the party but this video saved my life not even kidding thank you
The app is FANTASTIC! DON'T HESITATE TO BUY IT, it is worth every penny!
The diet helped me a lot. I am on it for 6 weeks and no way I am going to come back to old habits.
my friend has recommended this and she is so much happier since being on this diet.
This is an amazing video I'll be showing my patients who consults for IBS symptoms ... which are quite a few!
What a tremendously well-made, clear video! I recommend it to anyone with IBS or just curiosity. The title "Grand Tour Down Under" is perfect too.
Thank you! This diet has given me instant relief to crippling pain
thank you. What a great informative video and delivered in such an easy to understand format.
Brilliant work. Great educational introduction.
Thank you thank you so much!! i am so happy that i found this app!!!!!!!
Those graphics are amazing.
You're life saver
Excellent explanation!
I was looking for an video to explain the Low FODMAP diet to a client. This is excellent! Thanks Monash. I do wish you would explore SIBO as well tho. I was on the LOW FODMAP diet for years to quell my symptoms, but it wasn't until I addressed SIBO that I really felt better.
You are saving my life!! Thank you very much!!!
Really great explanation - I'll start using this with my patients.
Amazing animations!
I love this video!
I wish I could eat a low FODMAP diet, but I'm only 13, so I have to eat what I'm served...😭 I eat healthy, though, and that has definitely helped. Also I try to avoid dairy.
miamar glad you eat a healthy diet. If you do have IBS, then you will need medical advice about which diet will work best for you, or other strategies (such as hypnotherapy). If you have any questions about the low FODMAP diet, please email the team at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu
Great visualization! On the app, is it possible to get a graph of BM history over time?
Linda Fox, thanks very much for your positive feedback. For answering your question about the app, please write to the Monash University Low FODMAP research team, at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
interesting!!
Thanks a lot.

So no apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Sad but true for IBS sufferers, as apples contain fructose, a monosaccharide, the 'M' referred to in 'FODMAP'. See more at: www.monashfodmap.com/about-fodmap-and-ibs/
Only 6.66 EUR? Bought!
Why is this app so expensive :(
almost 30 PLN...
nipph, all money raised from app sales goes directly into low FODMAP diet research, so more foods can be included in the app. Everyone using the app benefits because of the inclusion of extra information at no extra cost beyond the original purchase price. If you have any particular questions, please email the team directly, at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
On a chart on the website it says bananas are low but in the video they are shown as high!!!???
Nigel Ackroyd, FODMAPs may vary depending on ripeness and type of fruit. In this case, the bananas featured in the video as an example of high FODMAP foods are actually ripe sugar bananas, not regular bananas, so they are high in excess fructose. Apologies for the confusion! The Monash Low FODMAP research team are happy to answer questions about the diet. Write to them at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu
On the App is the food listed in the guide in it's raw state? As 1 cup of cooked spinach compared to 1 cup of raw spinach would differ greatly??
There are bananas in the bowl to the left. Aren't bananas low in fodmaps?
The Monash low FODMAP research team, email fodmap.feedback@monash.edu, will post an answer shortly.
Maybe it was a "ripe sugar banana" in the bowl? Those are high FodMap.
Hi erksp, the bananas used included the video as an example of high FODMAP foods are actually ripe sugar bananas and not regular bananas, so they are high in excess fructose. Our apologies for any confusion caused. Best wishes, The Monash FODMAP team.
Aha, thank you! :)
If basically the entire small intestine and large intestine is affected, why do I only fell pain in the lower gut, just below my belly button? Also, I was under the impression that most of the pain comes from the large intestine where undigested stuff is eaten by bacteria which give off gas and other substances that cause the pain.
jackson32 , thanks for your interest. For answering your questions, please write to the Monash University Low FODMAP research team, at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
Hey guys - I made a video about my personal journey on the diet and the incredible results I've had if you're interested its here: th-cam.com/video/T_cryzBXSJg/w-d-xo.html
Hi Alistair, it's great that the low FODMAP diet is helping you so much. A note about gluten in the diet: When following the low FODMAP diet, fructans and other FODMAPs, but not gluten, are restricted. A strict life-long ‘gluten-free’ diet is only required if you have been diagnosed with coeliac disease. See more at: www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/faq.html, or send questions directly to the Monash University Low FODMAP research team at fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
'People with IBS have very sensitive intestines'. Where is the evidence for that? I presume IBS is usually of unknown etiology, so how can you say one person experiences more pain in their intestines than another when you don't really know what is causing it?
Good question. There are some studies which find that IBS patients respond to painful gut stimuli differently than control groups:
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21443723
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19595511
I think the observations of visceral hypersensitivity in IBS doesn't necessarily provide a causal mechanism. But the evidence does seem to me to suggest that hypersensitivity could be associated.
Jake Fryer As simple as that
Pain threshold is different for each of us. That's is why some of us experience more pain than others. Despite etiology of pain. Brain chemistry nothing more
Hi I've had ibs for a long time now I've basically tried everything I also had a igg test for celiac disease which was normal and also took antibiotic rifaxamin which didn't help at all and every food that I eat gives me discomfort (ibs symtoms) what I want to know is that is this app helpful because my doctor said he can't do anything and I'm out of options.
Dear Umair M, sorry to hear you are not doing well. The app is a user guide for people pursuing the low FODMAP diet, usually in conjunction with a medical practitioner or dietitian's diagnosis. Please see more about the Monash University Low FODMAP diet, research and app at www.monashfodmap.com/. If you have particular questions, you can email the research dietitian team on fodmap.feedback@monash.edu.
