Evidence‐based dietary management of functional gastrointestinal symptoms: The FODMAP approach
@article{Gibson2010EvidencebasedDM, title={Evidence‐based dietary management of functional gastrointestinal symptoms: The FODMAP approach}, author={Peter R. Gibson and Susan Joy Shepherd}, journal={Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology}, year={2010}, volume={25} }
Background and Aim: Functional gastrointestinal symptoms are common and their management is often a difficult clinical problem. The link between food intake and symptom induction is recognized. This review aims to describe the evidence base for restricting rapidly fermentable, short‐chain carbohydrates (FODMAPs) in controlling such symptoms.
