This cookbook explains the science behind the low FODMAP diet — a clinically supported method used to self-diagnose and reduce the fermentable carbohydrates that often trigger gut inflammation and uncomfortable symptoms. With as many as 15–20% of the population affected by digestive sensitivities (many undiagnosed), having a trusted, evidence-informed resource can make meal planning much easier and less stressful. Cecile Hauge Ågotnes guides readers through practical swaps and adaptations so beloved dishes — including puddings and desserts — remain on the menu.
