Answers built from a structured database.
The first low FODMAP step is temporary and is followed by reintroduction and personalization. The planner organizes dates but does not decide whether you should start, stop or change a diet.
Serving guidance and diet stages are interpreted with resources from Monash University and NIDDK. This tool provides educational information and does not diagnose IBS, SIBO or food intolerance.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the low FODMAP elimination phase?
It is generally planned for 2 to 6 weeks and is not intended to become a permanently strict diet.
What happens after elimination?
If symptoms have improved, the next step is usually structured reintroduction to explore tolerance to different FODMAP groups.
Can I continue for longer than six weeks?
The planner does not recommend automatic extensions. Discuss the next step with a dietitian or healthcare professional.
Is the countdown private?
Yes. Dates are stored locally in this browser and no account is required.
What if symptoms do not improve?
Avoid making the diet more restrictive without support. FODMAP intake is not the only possible influence on digestive symptoms.
