I created a printable FODMAP food list for you.

I decided to do this after someone asked via Instagram Stories, “Are you willing to share a low FODMAP shopping list?” …..and also because I’ve been meaning to do it for awhile now to help Y’all out.

If you don’t have a medical condition relating for a need to be low FODMAP, then please, for the love of God, do not do the low FODMAP diet. It’s super restrictive and not even in the “do not eat junk food/sugar/carbs/etc.” restrictive kind of way.

Being low FODMAP means you’ll miss out on some pretty delicious foods like: beets, cauliflower, garlic, apples, blackberries, and cashews. 

Seriously, if you don’t need to be low FODMAP, then don’t be.

Because I fully healed my gut and got rid of SIBO, I no longer need low FODMAP options, and I’m totally excited by that!

However, when my SIBO was active, I exercised caution. Even then, though, I still eat, and I still a lot. How? With this list free printable low FODMAP food list I’m going to give to you today.

FODMAPs

Before we go anything further, let me make sure you’re clear as to what a FODMAP even is.

FODMAP stands for: Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols.

And that might seem too scientific for you. It still is for me, even after all this time of studying low FODMAP and high FODMAP foods, the low FODMAP diet plan and all of it as it relates to SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth).

So for the sake of simplicity, a FODMAP is simply a group of short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that can be poorly absorbed by some individuals. Typically, these individuals are have digestive symptoms like gas, diarrhea, and/or bloating. Or, in general, they present with symptoms of IBS.

And, in order to alleviate symptoms many practitioners will recommend their patients try a low-FODMAP diet.

What is the Low-FODMAP Diet?

The low-FODMAP diet is simply a way of eating whereas one reduces and/or completely eliminates high-FODMAP foods as a dietary strategy for ongoing GI issues.

But make no mistake about it — despite what some will try to tell you, it’s not a diet that should be done for a long time. And furthermore, there are pros and cons for following a low-FODMAP diet with low-FODMAP foods.  

In fact, if you want more on this, Episode 72 of the A Gutsy Girl podcast registered dietitian, Kaitlyn, breaks down 3 phases of the low FODMAP diet:

1. PHASE 1: ELIMINATION PHASE OF THE LOW FODMAP DIET, THE FIRST STEP
   • about 2 – 6 weeks
   • Cut high FODMAP foods, following a strict low FODMAP diet
2. PHASE 2: REINTRODUCTION PHASE
   • adding back small amounts of new foods of a single FODMAP food at a time
3. PHASE 3: PERSONALIZATION PHASE (BECAUSE AVOIDING HIGH-FODMAP FOODS IS NOT A LONG-TERM SOLUTION)

Okay, so with all of that context, here is a printable list of low FODMAP foods for you to enjoy.
