How To Eat At Restaurants On The Low FODMAP Diet

If you are someone who has struggled your entire life with poor digestion symptoms, ranging from gas, constipation, and diarrhea to nausea that leaves you without an appetite and severe bloat, then you’d be doing yourself a disservice by not researching the low FODMAP diet. FODMAP is an acronym that stands for several compounds found in foods. Some major ones include fructose, fructans, polyols and lactose.
