Does your stomach feel tight, gassy, or heavy after eating?
Do you feel uncomfortable even when you haven’t eaten much?
This could be Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)—and it’s more common than you think, especially in India.
Spicy food, dal-heavy meals, and lots of wheat can trigger symptoms. That’s why the Low FODMAP Diet has helped many Indians feel better fast.
It’s a special eating plan designed to help people with IBS and bloating.
FODMAPs are certain types of carbs that are hard to digest and cause gas, water retention, and cramping in your gut.
The Low FODMAP Diet is not forever—it’s a short-term plan to:
✅ Find out which foods cause problems
✅ Give your gut time to heal
✅ Bring your digestion back to balance
FODMAPs pull water into your gut and create gas as they ferment.
In people with IBS, this can cause:
You’ll feel better by cutting them out for a few weeks—and then slowly adding them back to see which ones your body can handle.
It’s important to remember that depression doesn’t look the same for everyone; symptoms can vary based on age, gender, and individual circumstances. Some might experience more irritability than sadness, while others might notice physical symptoms more prominently.

Step 1: Remove all high FODMAP foods for 4–6 weeks
Step 2: Track your symptoms—see what improves
Step 3: Reintroduce one group at a time (onions, wheat, etc.)
Step 4: Create your own personalized food list
The goal? Find what YOUR gut tolerates—and avoid only those.

Your body is smart. These symptoms are signals, not annoyances.
Q: Is it okay for vegetarians?
Yes! Use moong dal, tofu, rice, veggies, and low FODMAP fruits.

Possibly. Many people lose water weight and bloat.
Q: How long should I do this?
4 to 6 weeks of elimination, followed by reintroduction.
