For athletes with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), balancing gut comfort with performance is tough—especially in competition season. The low-FODMAP diet can reduce symptoms but risks limiting fuel. The solution lies in phased testing: identify safe carb sources (e.g., rice, bananas, oats) and integrate them into pre-training meals. Portable low-FODMAP snacks ensure energy during travel or long events. While not one-size-fits-all, personalization enables IBS athletes to maintain performance without sacrificing gut health. Careful planning makes the difference between sidelined and strong.
