Nutrition/Diets
1. FODMAP Diet:
- FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols) are certain types of carbohydrates that can be difficult to digest for some people.
- A low FODMAP diet involves restricting foods high in these carbohydrates to manage symptoms like bloating, gas, and abdominal pain, often associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
2. Gluten Intolerance (Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity):
- Gluten intolerance refers to a condition where individuals experience symptoms similar to those of celiac disease when they consume gluten-containing foods.
- These symptoms can include bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and headaches.
- Unlike celiac disease, gluten intolerance does not involve an autoimmune response or damage to the small intestine.
3. Gastroparesis Diet:
- Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach takes too long to empty its contents.
- A gastroparesis diet focuses on foods that are easier to digest and pass through the stomach, such as low-fiber foods, liquids, and smaller, more frequent meals.
- Avoiding foods high in fat or fiber can help manage symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and bloating.
4. Mediterranean Diet:
- The Mediterranean diet is a heart-healthy eating plan inspired by the traditional diets of countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
- It emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and healthy fats like olive oil.
- This diet is rich in antioxidants and fiber, and studies suggest it may reduce inflammation and lower the risk of heart disease.
5. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Diet:
- Inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, causes chronic inflammation in the digestive tract.
- A specific IBD diet may involve eating smaller, more frequent meals; avoiding trigger foods that worsen symptoms; and ensuring adequate nutrient intake, as IBD can affect nutrient absorption.
