Understanding Low FODMAP Eating
FODMAP Friendly evaluates food products for their FODMAP content and oversees independent analytical testing of each product by NATA accredited laboratories. Its certification confirms that products meet evidence-based low FODMAP thresholds.
Emily Schöningh, MS, Senior Nutrition Specialist at Flora Food Group, said:
“Many people are surprised to learn that carefully adjusting the types of carbohydrates in their diet can help relieve common symptoms of digestive discomfort associated with IBS, such as bloating. FODMAPs, which stand for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, are carbohydrates that some people don't digest well. A low FODMAP diet helps consumers identify which of these should be limited to help prevent digestive symptoms, including bloating they may experience with high FODMAP foods. And with low FODMAP certified dairy free products from Violife, it's easier to shop and eat with confidence.”
