FODMAP are a class of short chained carbohydrates know to be problematic for individuals with functional GI disorders like IBS. You can find two links to reputable information in my signature. The first one is a brief introduction by a dietitian. The second one is a detailed description primarily for health professionals. The diet has been extensively clinically tested. This diet focuses on FODMAPs but it does not discuss other known triggers that the EFI diet does such as caffeine, alcohol, insoluble fiber, etc that are known GI stimulants. These other triggers are left for the attending dietitian or physician to discuss with the patient.

The FODMAP diet is much different than a gluten free diet. If you have any questions please ask.
