Published Evidence for FODMAP Effectiveness
Inflammatory Pain Management
Evidence of efficacy for Inflammatory Pain:
A low fermentable oligo-di-mono saccharides and polyols (FODMAP) diet reduced pain and improved daily life in fibromyalgia patients.
“Implementation of diet therapy involving FODMAP restrictions, in this cohort of FM patients, resulted in a significant reduction in GI disorders and FM symptoms, including pain scores.”
Low Fodmap diet has been shown effective in improving fibromyalgia patients’ pain symptoms.
Evidence of FODMAP's Effectiveness for Improving GI Disorders:
The role of diet in the management of irritable bowel syndrome: a focus on FODMAPs.
“Numerous randomized, controlled trials suggest that restriction of dietary
FODMAPs improves overall symptoms, abdominal pain, bloating
and quality of life in more than half of IBS sufferers.”
Use of the low-FODMAP diet in inflammatory bowel disease.
“Thus, low-FODMAP diet is a viable option for IBS-like symptoms but should be carefully supervised to mitigate risk."
Beyond Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Efficacy of the Low Fodmap Diet for Improving Symptoms in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and Celiac Disease.
“A low FODMAP diet could be a valid option to counter -abdominal symptoms in patients with IBS, non-active IBD, or CD on a GFD, and thus, improve their QoL”
Implementation of a low FODMAP diet for functional abdominal pain.
“After the diet, they showed fewer daily abdominal pain episodes compared to baseline daily episodes, less pain severity compared to baseline, less interference with daily activities, and less gastrointestinal symptoms. Only 15% of patients found it difficult to follow the diet.”
