Irritable bowel syndrome is an intestinal disorder whose causes are still poorly understood, although there are many clues. It is a condition that requires major changes to habits, especially dietary, in order to continue enjoying a normal life.

FODMAPs are a group of food components consisting of sugars that break down poorly in certain organisms. How do they affect the intestines? Also, can a low-FODMAP diet be helpful in relieving intestinal problems?

Irritable bowel syndrome and lactose intolerance are often related. However, a study has shown for the first time that eating homemade yogurt each day can fully eliminate the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
