Book a ConsultationFODMAP stands for Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols, a group of short-chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine. In people with IBS, these carbohydrates ferment in the gut, causing bloating, gas, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and constipation.
The Low FODMAP diet, developed by Monash University in Melbourne, is the most evidence-based dietary treatment for IBS. Research shows it reduces symptoms in up to 75% of people with IBS.
The diet has three carefully structured phases:
Remove high-FODMAP foods for 2–6 weeks to settle symptoms and establish a baseline.
Systematically reintroduce FODMAP groups to identify your personal triggers.
Build a long-term, varied diet that avoids only your triggers, not all FODMAPs.
The Low FODMAP diet is complex and easy to do incorrectly. Without guidance, most people either restrict too much (risking nutritional deficiency and an overly limited diet) or don't identify their actual triggers during reintroduction.
Monash University, the creators of the diet, recommend working with an Accredited Practising Dietitian trained in Low FODMAP to get accurate results. Common mistakes when going it alone:

No. The Low FODMAP diet restricts fructans (found in wheat) but is not a gluten-free diet. Gluten itself is a protein, not a FODMAP. Many gluten-free products are also high in FODMAPs. This is one of the many reasons dietitian guidance matters.
No referral is required for a private consultation. However, if your GP provides a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) referral, you may be eligible for Medicare rebates on up to 5 allied health visits per year.
No. The goal is to identify your specific triggers so you can build a varied, nutritionally complete diet long-term. Most people end up tolerating many FODMAPs in normal portions and only avoid the specific groups that cause their symptoms.
