ODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols, which are short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are poorly absorbed by the body, resulting in abdominal pain and bloating. Low FODMAP foods are generally what you want to follow to help with digestive problems. High FODMAP foods do not absorb well in the small intestines resulting in gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and a feeling of fullness after consuming small amounts of foods.
Here is a list of recipes that may help with digestive problems. Salad Orange bell pepper (sweeter and fruitier), cucumbers, grape tomatoes, tofu (firm), shrimp olive oil, carrots, almonds, avocado
