Food intolerances and the FODMAP diet

Bloating, discomfort, or pain after certain meals, without knowing exactly what food is causing it? You are not alone. At Épithélia, digestive health is our specialty: our team helps you identify your food intolerances and guide you through a structured FODMAP approach, rather than relying on trial and error.

You don’t have to keep eliminating foods randomly. A first meeting is enough to get a clear picture.

Why avoid doing a FODMAP diet alone.

The FODMAP diet is a multi-phase approach (elimination, reintroduction, customization) aimed at identifying your specific triggers, not at permanently eliminating food groups. Taken without guidance, it often leads to unnecessary restrictions, nutritional deficiencies, or premature abandonment before the true triggers have been identified.

Our clinical approach to food intolerances

Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your digestive history, symptoms, and current eating habits. Our nutritionists ask specific clinical questions, often different from those asked by other professionals, to distinguish an eating intolerance from another digestive disorder before building a personalized action plan.

We guide you through every phase of the FODMAP approach, from elimination to structured reintroduction, with follow-up that maximizes your chances of returning to a diet as varied as possible in the long term.

Food and FODMAP diet

A low FODMAP diet involves temporarily limiting certain fermentable carbohydrates found in a wide variety of foods (some fruits, vegetables, dairy products, and grains). This is not a universal list of foods to avoid permanently; the goal is to identify your specific triggers and then gradually reintroduce what is well tolerated.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if I have an intolerance to food?

Common symptoms include bloating, digestive discomfort, or changes in bowel movements after certain meals. A personalized evaluation helps distinguish food intolerance from other possible causes before embarking on an elimination approach.

What is the FODMAP diet?

It is a structured approach in several phases aimed at identifying the fermentable carbohydrates that trigger your digestive symptoms, in order to limit them temporarily and then gradually reintroduce those that are well tolerated.

Can I follow a FODMAP diet on my own, without any support?

It is possible, but the risk of deficiencies, unnecessary restrictions, or abandonment before identifying the true triggers is high. Clinical supervision helps to navigate each phase effectively and safely.
