Diet is an important trigger of GI symptoms in athletes and increased symptom severity is associated with underperformance. Proper nutrition in athletes is important to support performance and recovery, promote adequate energy intake, ensure good mental health and much more. Various tools and strategies are available to ensure proper fueling and support athletes needing to manage digestive issues.

Data on the prevalence of specific FODMAP intolerances and their amounts has been limited, though new research on which FODMAP are most commonly triggering is emerging.
