So what is this concept of FODMAPs for your listeners who perhaps haven't really heard much, or maybe they've heard it, but they're like, what is that? FODMAP stands for, and this is super nerdy, forgive me, fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. What this is referring to is the fermentable carbohydrates in our diet. So that includes lactose and dairy products.

That includes things in beans, things in whole grains, fructose and fruit, and sweeteners like sugar alcohols, which also include artificial sweeteners. Okay. All of these things, when we say fermentable, fermentation produces gas. So for people who have a sort of weak gut... where they may struggle to process and digest their food.

Going low FODMAP can be a more gentle approach that's easier and produces less gas. You'll feel better. So start with a low FODMAP smoothie.

Beans, legumes, almost all of them. Lentils are, especially canned lentils, are the exception potentially. Whole grains, the ones that are gluten containing, which is an interesting thing. Again, we may circle back to this. So wheat, barley, and rye are high FODMAP foods. Garlic and onions, high FODMAP. And then like there's like some other ones that are out there.

There's certain berries that can be high FODMAP.

You have to be kind of careful with the amount.

So it's with avocado. It's like, if you have a certain amount, that's a modest amount. Cause I mean, like when I opened an avocado, I'm definitely not throwing it in the trash. I want to eat that whole thing. And, but like the amount is rather small if you have gut issues.
