Digestive conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be debilitating and often take the joy out of eating. One current research-backed strategy to improve IBS symptoms is the low-FODMAP diet. FODMAP stands for “fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols.” FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that the small intestine absorbs poorly.
Fifty-two to 86 percent of patients have experienced significant improvement in their IBS symptoms with a low-FODMAP diet. Unfortunately, this diet restricts several food choices, and finding low-FODMAP options when eating out or ordering food online can be challenging. As of now, there are a limited number of meal delivery services that offer options for this diet. If you’re searching for options that can make following a low-FODMAP protocol easier, we hope the services on this list prove helpful.
