Low FODMAP Diet - Protocol Guide

Overview

The Low-FODMAP diet (pioneered by Monash University) is the leading dietary framework for identifying digestive sensitivities and promoting gastrointestinal comfort.

Key Principles

  • Phase 1 (2-6 weeks): Structured exclusion of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols
  • Phase 2: Systematic reintroduction of specific FODMAP groups to map individual sensitivities
  • Phase 3: Long-term personalization maintaining maximum plant diversity with minimal discomfort

Food Guidelines

Recommended

  • Rice, quinoa, and gluten-free oats
  • Carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, and baby spinach
  • Strawberries, oranges, and blueberries
  • Fresh eggs, poultry, and fish
  • Lactose-free dairy and firm tofu
  • Garlic-infused olive oil

Limit

  • Almonds (maximum 10 nuts per sitting)
  • Canned lentils thoroughly rinsed (maximum 1/4 cup)
  • Firm, unripe green bananas

Avoid

  • Garlic and onions in all forms (rich in fructans)
  • Wheat, rye, and barley
  • Apples, pears, watermelon, and mangoes
  • Standard lactose-rich dairy
  • Dry unsoaked legumes
  • Polyol sweeteners (xylitol, sorbitol, maltitol)

Practical Tips

  • Garlic-infused olive oil is 100% low-FODMAP: fructans are water-soluble, not fat-soluble, giving full flavor with zero gut distress
  • Do not keep Phase 1 strict elimination longer than 6 weeks to preserve bifidobacteria microbiome diversity
