FODMAPs are a tool, not a lifelong restrictive diet. Whether you're struggling to figure out which carbohydrates your gut really can't handle, looking for expert guidance on a guided FODMAP reintroduction, or want practical strategies for knowing when enzymes and tests are (and aren't) worth it, this episode has you covered.
YOU'LL TAKEAWAY:
✅ Why IBS makes the gut so reactive to carbohydrates, and what FODMAP elimination and reintroduction really look like
✅ Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID): the lesser-known intolerance that can make a low FODMAP diet fall flat
✅ How a carbohydrate intolerance can be properly assessed — and which tests to skip
✅ Where enzyme products like lactase, Fodzyme, and alpha-galactosidase may help
