    FODMAPs are fermentable short-chain carbohydrates. Translated, that means two things: They are sugar molecules that are linked together in chains, and they are fermentable by the bacteria in your gut. Molecules in chains need to be broken down into single molecules to be absorbed through your small intestine.

    FODMAPs are short-chain carbohydrates that you may have trouble digesting because:

    • Your intestines can’t digest and/or absorb them well.
    • Natural bacteria in your gut ferment them.
    • They draw extra water into your intestines.
