The Low-FODMAP Diet Has Moved On: Why my Gentle, Personalised Approach Makes More Sense

The low-FODMAP diet can be a valuable, evidence-informed tool for managing IBS symptoms, but it works best when it is temporary, targeted and personalised.

The newer research does not support fear-based, blanket avoidance of healthy foods. It supports a more thoughtful model:

1.    Identify likely triggers

2.    Use a short and nutritionally sound trial where appropriate.

3.    Reintroduce methodically, and create the broadest, most enjoyable diet that your gut can manage.

That is the foundation of my gentle FODMAP approach: less confusion, less unnecessary restriction and more confidence in food.
