FODMAPs are pretty well understood. There aren't any in meat.
I know this is ancient history at this point, but I wanted to circle back.
I was not familiar with FODMAPs at all before reading the article. And since the article starts by calling it a ‘diet’ I made what I thought was the reasonable assumption that it was a traditional diet.
After you responded I looked it up more generally and now understand that it’s less of a traditional ‘diet’ and instead used to help prevent some medical conditions from flaring up.
That’s on me for not doing full research, and on the article for assuming everyone knows what FODMAPs are and why they are so important to some people.
Sorry for my ignorance.
Props to you for coming back to this. Totally understand your incredulity to this if you thought it was some fad or weightloss diet though haha!
I questioned my sanity for a bit after your first response until I realized what the diet actually was. I was properly confused!
