                                Up to 75% of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) experience significant symptom relief on a low-FODMAP diet. A crucial first step in this process is understanding how long is phase 1 of low-FODMAP, the initial elimination stage, and why it is not intended for the long term. This phase is a short-term diagnostic tool to pinpoint dietary triggers for digestive distress.
