If you’re eating low FODMAP, you may be wondering if that means you’re out of luck when it comes to convenient ready-to-eat snacks.

Although they might be hard to track down, there are plenty of snack options out there for the 10-15% of Americans who experience irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (1<\/a>).

IBS is a chronic disorder characterized by abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. It affects between 25 million to 45 million people in the US (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>).

Those with IBS are typically recommended to reduce their intake of a certain group of foods known as FODMAPs \u2013 an acronym that stands for Fermentable Oligo-, Di- and Mono-saccharides, and Polyols. These complex-sounding names are simply a way to describe the length of their carbohydrate chains (3<\/a>).

For most people, FODMAPs are beneficial for health and support a healthy gut. However, those with IBS are unable to tolerate certain compounds in FODMAP foods and tend to experience digestive discomfort and gas when trying to digest these carbohydrates. A diet that is low in FODMAP foods has been shown to help alleviate these unpleasant symptoms (4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the overwhelmingly long list of foods that are off the table for those who need to avoid FODMAPs in their diet, the hunt for easy snacks can quickly become a big headache.
