Also the FODMAP diet is very restrictive, since it is limited to few foods and preparations, so if it is maintained long-term without the supervision of a nutritionist, nutritional deficiencies may develop.

Foods that should be consumed following the FODMAP diet:

• Fruits such as blueberries, coconut, currant, banana, kiwi or tangerine.

• vegetables like olives, celery, chard, spinach or endives.

• Dairy and substitutes such as cured cheeses, mozzarella, yogurt and lactose-free dairy or vegetable drinks.

• The meats raw, the white and blue fish, and the egg.

• Cereals and tubers such as rice, corn or quinoa.

• Sweeteners such as sugar, glucose and aspartame.

• Nuts and oils such as nuts, olive or sunflower oil.
