Celiac Facts for Patients

Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols. Are types of short carbohydrates which are only poorly absorbed in the small intestine. They are instead transported into the colon where they are fermented by gut bacteria. Foods high in FODMAPS are grains (wheat, barley, rye), some vegetables (beetroot, fennel, peas), legumes, dairy and many fruits. A low FODMAP diet should never be initiated without indication from a doctor and consultation with a dietitian/nutritionist.
