Low FODMAP foods to the athlete’s rescue!

We work with a lot of competitive and recreational athletes who struggle with digestive issues.

Unfortunately the flip side of developing superior cardiovascular and muscular health is that your high level training often results in impaired digestive function.

Increased stress hormones and inflammation in the body, increased dietary simple carbohydrates, and eating more food in general (often on-the-run) are all contributing factors. Subpar digestion is an athlete’s worst enemy! It leads to:

• Bloat, gas and discomfort.
• Reduced absorption of all that nutritious food you’re eating (what a waste!).
• Disrupted gut flora and a vicious cycle of further inflammation.
• Impaired recovery and subsequent performance.

The good news is that a low FODMAP diet may help.

There are lots of healthy, delicious foods that are low FODMAP friendly, and this recipe is one of them.

This recipe is:

• Dairy-free.
• Egg-free.
• Gluten-free.
• Low FODMAP.
• Low histamine.

What is FODMAP?

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects an estimated 10-15% of the population. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is also being recognized as a condition that produces similar digestive symptoms.

If you often suffer from gas, bloating, diarrhea, constipation and stomach pain that affects your quality of life, a low FODMAP diet may help.

FODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, all of which are types of short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are poorly absorbed by the body. Consuming them can cause abdominal pain, bloating and other symptoms often experienced with IBS or SIBO.

Studies suggest that avoiding these foods can improve symptoms for many people with IBS.
