let’s talk about fodmaps in relationship  to ibd and ibs now what do these acronyms  

stand for let’s start with fodmaps okay so that  stands for fermentable which basically describes  

the gut bacteria digesting carbohydrates  and producing gas okay that’s fermentable  

then we oligosaccharides oligo means  few and saccharides describe sugars then we  

get disaccharides that means two sugars connected  then we have monosaccharides which is one sugar  

and then we have polyols and these are basically  scientifically sounding names for carbohydrates  

specifically sugar and fiber and all of these are  a bit more difficult to digest all right now let’s  

switch over to ibs that’s irritable bowel syndrome  and then we have ibd which is inflammatory bowel  

disease now the difference between ibs and ibd  is this an ibs there’s no ulcers there’s no  

lesions it only affects the colon not the small  intestine so basically you have inflammation in  

your large intestine all right ibd is irritable  about disease it’s a group of bowel diseases that  

cause inflammation in different parts of the  gi system okay both ibs and ibd are triggered  

by the same thing gluten which is the protein  in wheat and other grains refined sugars  

grains lactose that’s milk sugar certain fibers  in a lot of things like vegetables legumes and  

omega-6 fatty acids that would be things like  soy corn canola especially the oils and then if  

you have these conditions you’ll have abdominal  pain diarrhea bloating and gas so what happens  

in the gut when you actually consume these foods  is you get gas and the gas stretches and expands  

the colon and ibd or ibs are very sensitive to  this stretching because you have inflammation now  

let me just circle back to the fodmaps for  a second illegal saccharides that would be  

like the grains that would be garlic onions  legumes an example of disaccharides would be  

the dairy okay so as you know a lot of  people are real sensitive to dairy right  

and then monosaccharides would be like fructose  and that could be like in high fructose corn  

syrup or fruit and then polyols would be like the  artificial sweeteners like sorbitol mannitol but  

these two compounds sorbitol and mannitol  are also in to a certain degree in fruit  

and even vegetables so the whole concept of  fodmaps is to consume foods low in fodmaps okay  

now i listed all of those in the description  below so you can see what i’m going to talk about  

because you’d also want to avoid the high five  map foods okay now here’s one little extra point  

i want to bring up many people consume the low  fodmap vegetables and other foods and they still  

have a lot of gi problems in that case i would  recommend not consuming any vegetables or legumes  

or fruits and do carnivore for a couple months and  you’ll find that your gut can heal and you’ll feel  

much much better i just wanted to point that out  but just make sure you do the healthy version  

of a carnivore diet so you’re not just  eating animal protein you’re eating fish  

seafood eggs things like that hey before you go if  you’re benefiting from any of my content i would
