What is a FODMAP and AIP diet?
FODMAP is a term used mainly with reference to a diet that is low in Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are poorly absorbed by the body, resulting in abdominal pain and bloating.
