Sarah Di Lorenzo will be speaking about the low-FODMAP diet.
FODMAPs are a group of naturally occurring carbohydrates (sugars) found in many foods that are poorly absorbed in the gut and can cause digestive symptoms.
A low FODMAP diet primarily benefits people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and other functional gastrointestinal disorders who experience chronic digestive symptoms.
