Low FODMAP Dining
At Atlantic, we love the simple pleasure of settling in for a long lunch or an evening around the table. A plate of something delicious, a glass of wine and nowhere else you need to be.
Following a Low FODMAP diet shouldn't mean missing out on that. Our dedicated Low FODMAP menu brings together a selection of dishes inspired by the French brasserie classics we know and love, with plenty to enjoy from the first course to the last.
What is a Low FODMAP diet?
FODMAP is an abbreviation for a group of short-chain carbohydrates and sugars found naturally in certain foods. The name stands for:
Fermentable: These carbohydrates are broken down by bacteria in the gut.
Oligosaccharides: Found in foods such as onions, garlic, wheat and some pulses.
Disaccharides: Including lactose, the natural sugar found in milk and some dairy products.
Monosaccharides: Including excess fructose, found in certain fruits and sweeteners.
Polyols: Sugar alcohols found in some fruits and vegetables, as well as certain sweeteners.
A Low FODMAP diet involves reducing certain foods that are high in these carbohydrates to help identify which ones may be contributing to symptoms. It isn't a weight-loss diet, nor is it intended to be a permanently restrictive way of eating.
