Clinical NutritionDo certain carb sources make you feel bloated?
FODMAPs are a group of sugars that are resistant to digestion in the body. They show difficulty in either complete digestion or absorption in the body and when they reach the small intestine, they move slowly and because of the osmotic effect, attract a lot of water in the lumen of the intestine. Also, when they pass into the large intestine, they are fermented by gut bacteria, resulting in gas formation.
