About 9-23% of people have IBS. For more, check the link http://www.aboutibs.org/
The low FODMAP is a diet sheet created by Stanford Hospitals and Clinics and can be viewed here, which shows a list of foods that need to be eliminated from the diet for IBS sufferers and it seems to decrease the symptoms considerably. It looks like a very hard diet to follow as it contains almost nothing that is common food in a person's diet, be it Continental, Italian, Mexican, Asian, Mediterranean ... and the list goes on.
The main ingredient to avoid is wheat and that is almost impossible. I have been trying this for a few days now and shall follow up with recipes. Rice is a staple and thankfully, now, the grocery stores carry a range of wheat free flour.
The list above shows the foods that one can eat in moderation. I shall post recipes and pictures on what I did with items on this list that are not so obvious. By that, I mean, not just cooking rice pasta or cooking quinoa and eating with a piece of meat!
