Communication about Low FODMAP Diet through Online Application
Keywords:
Communication, Low FODMAP Diet, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, IBS, Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth, SIBO, Gastrointestinal Disease Management, ApplicationAbstract
The aim of this article is to promote the use of Low FODMAP Diet applications for getting proper nutrition information in order to prevent Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).
Applications in smartphones and tablets are used as new media among the Thai population. Online applications for low FODMAP in tablets and smartphones are now developed. These tools are efficient for enhancing nutrition literacy in gastrointestinal disease management.
On the other hand, the Low FODMAP dietary program was significantly developed in Thailand only through limited communication channels such as websites and social media. Besides, the communication of Low FODMAP for disease control in terms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), slightly rose among social media, academic journals, and related research. However, Thais are not well-perceived the definition and dietary details of Low FODMAP in a wide range. Consequently, communication about Low FODMAP is considered to be essential to make the information accessible and easy to understand. The Low FODMAP application development should be encouraged in Thailand in order to localize and adapt to the Thai culinary culture.
