If you have Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or another digestive disorder or issue, you may have heard the acronym FODMAP which refers to certain foods that can cause and exacerbate bowel symptoms in people who are sensitive to them. A low-FODMAP diet eliminates or minimizes these foods and can be particularly effective to promote healing and minimize symptoms while the gut is healing and the autoimmune component of the disease is being brought under control by following a paleo autoimmune protocol (AIP).
