After following the diet for a period of time, it is recommended to slowly reintroduce foods to determine which foods may be causing symptoms. Additionally, following a low FODMAP diet for an extended period of time may lead to inadequate nutrient intake, so it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before following the diet for an extended period of time.
