Digestive issues aren’t something most people like to talk about, but they are more common than many people realize. Though some digestive symptoms are related to underlying health conditions, many are triggered by food. Even if you don’t have a diagnosed condition like celiac disease or a food allergy, you may find that your body has trouble digesting certain foods. If you experience unpleasant symptoms like bloating, gas, and stomach pain on a regular basis, it could be related to FODMAPs.
The term FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides and Polyols. This is a scientific term used to classify four groups of carbohydrates that are notorious for causing digestive upset. FODMAPS can be found in a wide variety of foods – some even contain more than one type.
Whether you’ve been thinking about switching to a low FODMAP diet for a while or you’re just curious to see what it looks like, you’ll be glad to know we’ve done the work for you. Read on to see our collection of low FODMAP breakfast recipes featuring Schär Gluten Free products.
