Low FODMAP Meal Plan
A 2,000 kcal low-FODMAP elimination week, following the Monash University method. Use it to find trigger carbohydrates in IBS, then reintroduce. It is not a forever diet.
What FODMAPs are
FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. They are short-chain carbohydrates in fruit, vegetables, legumes, dairy, and some sweeteners. In IBS and in some other gut conditions they ferment, which means bloating, gas, pain, and a change in stools.
How the low-FODMAP approach works
You cut high-FODMAP foods for a short stretch, watch symptoms, then add groups back. It is a test, not a lifestyle brand. The groups are:
- Oligosaccharides. Fructans and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) in wheat, onions, and legumes. This week keeps them low.
- Disaccharides. Lactose in dairy is limited.
- Monosaccharides. Free fructose, and fructose with glucose such as high-fructose corn syrup, is controlled.
- Polyols. Sugar alcohols in some fruit and vegetables are restricted.
The 2,000 kcal low-FODMAP week
A general-use elimination week. Nutrition stays mixed while FODMAPs stay low.
1. Less bloating and pain for many people with IBS, if FODMAPs were the trigger.
2. A quieter gut while you collect data. Do not sell this as a microbiome reset.
3. Calories, protein, and micronutrients still in range.
4. Enough recipes that the client can last the elimination phase.
5. Easy to edit for the next phase and for individual tolerance.
How to use this template in your practice
