With an estimated 10-15% of U.S. adults affected by IBS, digestive health is top of mind for many consumers—and an opportunity for food and beverage formulators.
For millions of Americans living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other common digestive disorders, what they eat can make a meaningful difference in how they feel.
Recent research shows that a low-FODMAP diet can be effective for 50% to 80% of people with IBS and other common digestive disorders, helping reduce symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, and gas.
As a result, the market for low-FODMAP foods and beverages is expanding fast: valued at $3 billion in North America and expected to increase by 9% by 2034.
Farbest can help formulators meet this growing need with our gum acacia ingredients—now certified by the FODMAP Friendly program, the global standard in low-FODMAP certification. That makes them ideal for gut-healthy food and beverage formulations compatible with a low-FODMAP diet.
