Low-FODMAP Diet
Also known as: FODMAP elimination diet, low FODMAP
A structured dietary approach developed at Monash University for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Involves eliminating then systematically reintroducing fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. Relevant to perimenopausal women because gut symptoms often worsen during hormonal transitions.

How does Low-FODMAP Diet work?
FODMAPs are poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates that are fermented by gut bacteria, producing gas, and draw water into the intestinal lumen via osmosis. Reducing these substrates decreases gas production, bloating, and altered motility. The reintroduction phase identifies individual tolerance thresholds, allowing a personalised long-term diet.
