What is Fodmop?

Hello @cectono,
Fodmap is an eating plan for those of us with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). It basically eliminates gluten and some other groups of food that do not digest well in the small intestine.

Here is a link from Mayo Clinic's website, https://www.mayoclinic.org/search/search-results?q=Fodmap.

Here is a paragraph from that website:

"More recently, research has focused on the role of dietary factors in IBS; in clinical practice, a majority of diagnosed patients report worsening symptoms within a few minutes to a few hours after eating. One of the foods commonly thought to trigger symptoms is wheat, but whether gluten or some other component of wheat is responsible continues to stir debate."

@cectono, have you also had symptoms of IBS?
