Describe the FODMAP diet, and give examples of foods included in a low-FODMAP diet plan.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
FODMAP foods (those containing fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols) are not easily digested, and their osmotic load contributes to luminal distention. Patients with digestive difficulties should avoid these types of foods, as they can cause abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, and fullness. The low-FODMAP diet plan includes foods such as blueberries, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, green beans, lettuce, yellow summer squash, red bell peppers, potato, tomato, rice, oats, quinoa, rice milk, soy milk, hard cheeses, lactose-free yogurt, and ice cream substitutes (gelatin and sorbet from acceptable fruits).
