Schär gluten-free is launching a range of 10 low FODMAP accredited products this April to support shoppers following the diet to help manage their Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
A third of UK adults (32%) say they have or have had IBSi, and an estimated 3 million people across the country follow, or have followed a low FODMAP diet in order to help manage their IBS symptoms[i],[ii]
So what exactly is the low FODMAP diet?
FODMAPs are a collection of carbohydrates that are poorly absorbed into the gut that can trigger IBS symptoms in some people. The low FODMAP diet excludes foods that can contribute to IBS symptoms like intestinal bloating and pain.
Schär is the first brand to launch low FODMAP products into UK supermarkets that have been certified by Monash University. Low FODMAP labelling can be found on pack to help customers clearly identify which products within the range have been certified.
The Schär low FODMAP range includes the following products:
