FODMAP, Free From + Allergy

In those with food reactions, potential low FODMAP diet triggers are often investigated first. If symptoms persist, and the diet has been implemented correctly, you may want to explore whether natural and added food chemicals are other possible food triggers.

Food is complex. Some of the natural chemicals that contribute flavour to fresh foods are the salicylates, amines and glutamates. Manufacturers add preservatives, colouring and flavouring chemicals to food to enhance looks, taste and shelf life.

Both FODMAP and food chemical triggers can impact gut symptoms, but food chemicals can also influence headaches, migraines, sleep, mood, brain fog, skin itch and rashes, to name some. Like FODMAPs an elimination diet and challenge protocol can be followed, or some just dabble with limiting foods categorized in the very high list.
