1 in 7 people have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), a condition that affects the digestive system and can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea, and constipation. The exact cause of IBS is unknown, though following a low FODMAP diet has been proven to reduce inflammatory gut issues. Triggers for IBS symptoms can differ among individuals, there are some common foods that may worsen symptoms for some individuals.

Now, you can confidently incorporate Lakanto Classic Monkfruit Sweetener into your diet, knowing that it has been specifically formulated to support your digestive well-being due to being low FODMAP.
