Adopting FODMAPS Programmes

Symptoms of Gastrointestinal disorder include abdominal pain, bloating, wind, reflux, diarrhoea and/or constipation. FODMAPs are a collection of small chain carbohydrates that are poorly absorbable in the body.

Fermentation of FODMAPs in the distal small and proximal large intestine stimulates such conditions in the bowel that lead to releasing gas, boost intestinal permeability, an inclination factor to growth of Crohn's disease.

FODMAPs are a group of poorly absorbed short-chain carbohydrates in the diet because of their osmotic consequences (diffusion of molecules through a semi-permeable membrane until both sides balanced), increase fecal output following colectomy and ileal pouch formation or ileorectal anastomosis (IRA).

Avoid the following FODMAPs for a period of at least 8 weeks. After 8 weeks your dietitian will give advice whether to start any of the FODMAP groups.

What it’s like to be struck by lightning

Being struck by lightning can have a range of profound effects on both living organisms and the environment. The intense heat generated by a lightning strike can cause severe burns and injuries to humans and animals. The electrical current from the lightning can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and the heart, potentially leading to cardiac arrest or long-term neurological damage. Moreover, the rapid expansion of air due to the extreme heat can result in shock waves that may cause eardrum rupture and other injuries. Beyond immediate impacts on individuals, lightning strikes can also trigger fires in forests and grasslands. These fires can have devastating consequences for ecosystems, leading to loss of habitat, destruction of vegetation, and even altering the composition of soil. Lightning strikes can also damage infrastructure such as buildings, power lines, and electronic equipment, leading to power outages and other disruptions. From a broader perspective, lightni
