882 - Study Finds IBS Improvement with Long-Term Low FODMAP Diet

New research shows that a long-term low FODMAP diet can be used effectively for IBS. This is huge as there have been many theoretical concerns about using a low FODMAP diet long-term, such as negative impacts to the gut microbiota, nutrition levels, and quality of life.  However, we’ll cover each common criticism and answer them with science.  And if you have any additional questions about low FODMAP that you would like answered in the future, let me know in the comments!   Watch/Read Next… How to Heal Your Gut with the Low FODMAP Diet: https://drruscio.com/low-fodmap/  A Step-By-Step Guide to the Low FODMAP Diet: https://drruscio.com/low-fodmap-diet/  Low FODMAP Downloadable Guide: https://drruscio.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/5bStandard-Low-FODMAP-Diet-2020-5.pdf  Monash App: https://www.monash.edu/monash-innovation/news/success-stories/fodmap  How to Build an Elimination Diet Plan for Healing: https://drruscio.com/elimination-diet-meal-plan/  How to Heal Your Gut Without Lab Tests: https://drruscio.com/heal-your-gut-without-labs/    Timestamps 00:00 Intro  00:59 What are FODMAPs?  02:24 New study  04:22 “Low FODMAP hasn’t been studied long-term” 05:26 “Low FODMAP is bad for the gut” 06:36 “Low FODMAP leads to nutrient deficiencies”  09:30 “Low FODMAP is too difficult to do”  11:08 “Low FODMAP leads to food fear”  12:45 The study’s conclusion  13:48 Recommendations   Featured Studies  The Long-Term Effects of a Low-Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols Diet for Irritable Bowel Syndrome Management: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37807975/  Is a low FODMAP diet beneficial for patients with inflammatory bowel disease?
