A type of bread IBS sufferers can tolerate 26 Aug 2020
We all know that fibre is an essential part of everyone's diet, but for IBS sufferers it can be a challenge to get enough fibre into their diet. Researchers from the University of Helsinki gave two types of Rye bread - the standard loaf and a rye loaf that was low in FODMAPs (fermentable olgi-, di and monosaccharides and polyols) to 87 IBS suferers for four weeks. Then after a break of four weeks, switched the two breads for another period of four weeks. As expected the standard Rye bread caused all the usual symptoms assocaited with IBS:- abdominal pain
- diarrhoea
- constipation
