In today's roundup, we are showcasing healthful and healing low FODMAP Instant Pot recipes that are suitable for those following this dietary protocol to manage digestive issues such as IBS, Sibo, general bloating, and so on. We will touch briefly on what the low FODMAP diet is but the purpose of this post is to get you inspired by some tasty yet non-problematic for your digestion meals that can be cooked in the pressure cooker.
What Is A Low FODMAP diet?
A diet low in FODMAPs is essentially a type of elimination diet prescribed as a healing protocol for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS, to treat small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and other GI issues.
A low FODMAP diet is a 3-step approach to healing digestive issues that includes elimination and reduction of certain foods high in FODMAPS, reintroduction, and personalization.
FODMAPS is an acronym that stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols - types of carbohydrates or sugars - that might be a culprit for certain reactions and symptoms. They include:
- Fructose is found in fruits and sugary foods as well as some vegetables.
- Lactose is found in dairy.
- Fructans are found in grains.
- Galactans are found in beans and lentils.
- Polyols are found in sugar alcohols like xylitol, sorbitol, and maltitol.
These particular types of carbohydrates are more likely to resist digestion which ultimately leads to digestive issues. They pass through the small intestine slowly which attracts water. Later, they ferment in the gut which can cause pain, bloating, gas, diarrhoea, and other GI issues. Many people are fine with FODMAPS even if they do experience these symptoms. However, those with preexisting issues such as SIBO and especially with IBS could consider a low FODMAP diet to see if they are being impacted by these specific foods.
Some foods are higher or lower in FODMAPS so the diet is based on avoiding particularly problematic foods such as garlic, onions, cruciferous vegetables, wheat and rye, all beans and lentils, some (but not all) dairy, some (but not all) fruits and so on.
