There are also other opinions stating that it is not only the composition of food, i.e. 5 Advising our patients with IBS to decrease their intake of FODMAPs has been reported to reduce abdominal symptoms in 2 to 4 weeks. With respect to the role of FODMAPs in the managing of IBS symptoms, there is a growing body of evidence supporting the efficacy of the low FODMAP diet. We should recommend these foods to patients with IBS. The foods poor in FODMAPS are: vegetables and legumes: broccoli, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes fruits: green bananas, berries, grapes, lemon, papaya cereals: corn. It is therefore advisable to recommend to patients susceptible to be intolerant to high FODMAPs content food to avoid these. Fruits high in FODMAPS are apples, dates, mango, pears, pine-apples, prunes, raisins, watermelons etc. Typical vegetables and legumes high in FODMAP are: garlic, onions, artichoke, asparagus, beans, banana, beetroot, cauliflower, celery, mushrooms, peas etc. These compounds are found in many foods like cereals, legumes, vegetables, fruits. Fermentable oligosaccharides include very poorly absorbed carbohydrates like short chain fructooligosaccharides or fructans galacto-oligosaccharides lactose fructose polyols include sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol etc. 3 Indeed, there are many empirical reports of worsening IBS symptoms related to fermentable food. FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. This is a quite recent acronym for fermentable sugars and alcohols. Presently the most incriminated foods in IBS are the so-called FODMAPs. Which foods are incriminated by IBS patients? Effect of FODMAPs Thus, one should follow several steps during the medical interview of our IBS patients (table 1): Using lists of foods to be ticked off by the patient or analyzing alimentary diaries is also possible but rather more useful for research, less for daily practice. Getting information about patients’ dietary habits is usually possible during the interview for taking the medical history via directed open questions. Indeed, dietary indications are not only a must for the management of every IBS patient, but are one of the most expected recommendations from our patients who consult us. Knowing what foods our patients consider to be harmful is of paramount importance because thanks to this we can decide what to recommend to our IBS patients. Strategy of the dietary recommendations in IBS If an association exists, physicians should decide if the symptoms represent the expression of IBS another condition, like disaccharides intolerance, celiac disease, food allergy, etc. ![]() Therefore, when gastroenterologists consult patients with suspected or confirmed IBS, they have to inquire if the patients may attribute their bowel symptoms to a certain category of food. This is encountered in most digestive conditions: gastroesophageal reflux disease, dyspepsia of all causes, malabsorption, etc. Indeed, the association between the type of meals and the digestive symptoms is so obvious that all patients are aware of this. This is a functional gastrointestinal disorder 2 both patients and physicians associate the digestive symptoms of abdominal pain and changes in frequency of bowel movements/consistency of stool with food intake. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a very common condition everywhere (despite differences in reporting prevalence across the world) 1 and gastroenterologists are challenged daily with issues linked to persistence of symptoms and resistance to therapy. ![]() Iuliu Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy e-WGN Expert Point of View Articles Collection.WGO International Meetings Call for Bids.World Congress of Gastroenterology (WCOG).The Global Burden of Viral Hepatitis Webinar Series.WGO Climate Course for Global Gastroenterology.WGO Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Statement.
