Low FODMAP meal plan for IBS flare up
If you experience unpredictable gut symptoms then during a flare up you could try following a low FODMAP meal plan for a while. There are two ways to use this meal plan:
- FODMAP diet intervention - The proper way to use the meal plan is for a targeted intervention of 2-6 weeks, before carefully bringing back in each FODMAP group one by one. In this way you can check if certain types of carbohydrate are your triggers.
- As relief for IBS flare ups - For some people reverting to a low FODMAP diet for a few days may be helpful to ease your bloating, pains or bowel sensitivity. You might just want to use this diet as a remedy for an IBS attack, because eating lower fermentable foods can give your digestion a break for a few days.
Now, if you've followed me for a while you'll know I don't recommend following a low FODMAP meal plan long term. This is because the low FODMAP diet removes fermentable carbs, which starves out your beneficial gut microbes.
Reducing your good gut bacteria is not good longer term, we need a good diversity in dietary fibre each day.
The low FODMAP diet is a targeted dietary intervention for IBS, and should be followed under the support of a qualified nutrition professional. The risk of eating off of a low FODMAP meal plan could be nutrient deficiencies, limited fibre intake, or disrupting your relationship with food.
I can help you follow the diet properly, as part of my Gut Reset programme. In my 1:1 nutrition consultations.
If you're looking for a diet that can help to ease IBS flares in the short term a low FODMAP meal plan could be worth a try.
