Schär's low FODMAP products

These carbohydrate compounds are present in foods such as wheat, rye, legumes, different types of fruits and vegetables, milk, yoghurt and honey.

For individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a low FODMAP diet can be a good way to identify the reasons for the condition. Completely eliminating FODMAPs from the diet and then reintroducing them slowly and one by one can enable a person with IBS to identify which foods tend to cause pain and discomfort.

However, following the diet is not easy and must be done under strict medical or dietetic guidance in order to ensure that you continue to receive key nutrients.

Monash University in Australia developed the low FODMAP diet and is the place where much of the scientific research in the field has been conducted. Monash University has an established testing and certification programme to determine whether products are low in FODMAPs and therefore suitable for a low FODMAP diet.
