Low-FODMAP Tolerance Planner Calculator

Calculate low-FODMAP tolerance from FODMAP category servings and symptoms level.

Low-FODMAP Tolerance Planner Calculator

Calculate low-FODMAP tolerance from FODMAP category servings and symptoms level.

Input your low-FODMAP data

Formula

Low-FODMAP tolerance score = 100 minus deductions for FODMAP intake (fructose: 8 points per serving, lactose: 8 points, fructans: 10 points, galactans: 10 points, polyols: 8 points) and symptoms (5 points per symptom level). Higher scores indicate better tolerance.

Total FODMAP load = sum of servings from all FODMAP categories (fructose + lactose + fructans + galactans + polyols). Lower FODMAP load generally correlates with better tolerance and fewer symptoms.

FODMAP categories: Fructose (excess): apples, mangoes, honey. Lactose: dairy products. Fructans: wheat, onions, garlic. Galactans: legumes. Polyols: stone fruits, sugar alcohols. Many foods contain multiple FODMAP types.

The low-FODMAP diet is a therapeutic approach for managing IBS and digestive symptoms. Lower FODMAP intake and fewer symptoms indicate better tolerance. The diet should be done under professional guidance with proper elimination and reintroduction phases.

Steps

  • Enter servings of high-fructose foods from food tracking or estimate.
  • Enter servings of lactose-containing foods from food tracking or estimate.
  • Enter servings of fructan-containing foods from food tracking or estimate.
  • Enter servings of galactan-containing foods from food tracking or estimate.
  • Enter servings of polyol-containing foods from food tracking or estimate.
  • Enter current symptoms level (0-10, where 0 is no symptoms and 10 is severe symptoms).
  • Review low-FODMAP tolerance score and recommendations.

Complete guide snapshot

The low-FODMAP diet is a therapeutic approach for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disorders. FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates (fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, polyols) that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Use this calculator to calculate low-FODMAP tolerance from FODMAP category servings and symptoms level.

FAQs

What is the low-FODMAP diet?

The low-FODMAP diet is a therapeutic approach for managing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other digestive disorders. FODMAPs are fermentable carbohydrates (fructose, lactose, fructans, galactans, polyols) that can cause digestive symptoms in sensitive individuals.

What are FODMAPs?

FODMAPs are fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. They include fructose (excess), lactose, fructans (wheat, onions, garlic), galactans (legumes), and polyols (sweeteners, some fruits).

How is low-FODMAP tolerance calculated?

Low-FODMAP tolerance is calculated based on consumption of high-FODMAP foods across different FODMAP categories and current symptom levels. Lower FODMAP intake and fewer symptoms result in higher tolerance scores.

What foods are high in FODMAPs?

High-FODMAP foods include: excess fructose (apples, mangoes, honey), lactose (dairy), fructans (wheat, onions, garlic), galactans (legumes), and polyols (stone fruits, sugar alcohols). Many foods contain multiple FODMAP types.

What foods are low in FODMAPs?

Low-FODMAP foods include: most meats, fish, eggs, rice, quinoa, oats, many vegetables (carrots, spinach, zucchini), many fruits (bananas, blueberries, oranges), lactose-free dairy, and small portions of nuts.

How long should I follow a low-FODMAP diet?

The low-FODMAP diet is typically followed in phases: elimination (2-6 weeks), reintroduction (systematic testing of FODMAP groups), and personalization (long-term diet based on individual tolerance). It should be done under guidance.

What about fiber on low-FODMAP?

Fiber intake can be maintained on low-FODMAP by choosing low-FODMAP sources like oats, rice, quinoa, carrots, spinach, and small portions of nuts. Some high-fiber foods are high in FODMAPs and should be limited during elimination.

Can I reintroduce FODMAPs?

Yes. After the elimination phase, FODMAPs are systematically reintroduced one group at a time to identify individual tolerance levels. This allows for a more varied diet while managing symptoms.

How can I improve low-FODMAP tolerance?

Improve tolerance by following the elimination phase strictly, then systematically reintroducing FODMAPs to identify personal tolerance levels. Work with a dietitian to ensure nutritional adequacy while managing symptoms.

When should I consult a healthcare provider?

Consult a healthcare provider or registered dietitian before starting the low-FODMAP diet, if you have digestive symptoms, need help with the elimination and reintroduction phases, or want to ensure nutritional adequacy.

Summary

This tool calculates low-FODMAP tolerance from FODMAP category servings and symptoms level.

Outputs include fructose servings, lactose servings, fructans servings, galactans servings, polyols servings, symptoms level, tolerance score, total FODMAP load, status, recommendations, an action plan, and supporting metrics.

Formula, steps, guide content, related tools, and FAQs ensure humans or AI assistants can interpret the methodology instantly.
