I’ll be back to talk about the American dietician Kate Scarlata , specialized in diets for gastrointestinal health, and in particular in the Fodmap diet against irritable bowel and other intestinal diseases that lead us to have a swollen belly, abdominal pain, difficulty digesting well, a sense of heaviness. after meals.

For those who still do not know the protocol of the Fodmap diet , it is a diet theorized for the first time by the scientific team of Monash University about fifteen years ago: in essence, this belly deflating diet reduces or eliminates particular categories of foods that they would cause intestinal fermentation due to the presence of specific sugar chains.

Among the categories of food, we find some types of fruit and vegetables, legumes and cereals. The Fodmap diet aims at reducing or eliminating these foods for a period of a couple of months, and then integrating them little by little and never together until you get a 100% complete or almost complete diet. Very often, it is not a question of eliminating food, but of reducing its quantities. For those interested in doing the Fodmap diet, here are my in-depth articles here and here. 

But let’s go back to the title of the article: I have already written an article on some “flat stomach breakfasts” developed by the dietician, which follow the protocol of the Fodmap diet. Try them by clicking here , and if you see any benefits in stomach bloating, then maybe you should follow the Fodmap diet to get a flatter stomach and reduce digestive symptoms. But if you are looking for another proof of the validity of this diet in your case, I propose these snacks that deflate belly, a list of snacks that Kate Scarlata has developed for those suffering from bloated tummy. Here are some of her ideas!
