Fiber without FODMAPS

 

It’s not unusual to minimize fiber on the low FODMAP diet.  Fiber needs vary depending on age and gender, per the Institute of Medicine guidelines fiber needs are the following:

 

 

Men: 14-50 years old:  38 grams fiber/day

            50 +:  30 grams/day

 

Women: 14-18 years old: 26 grams/day

                 19-50 years old: 25 grams/day

                  50 +: 21 grams/day
