The low fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAP) diet, designed to alleviate symptoms in individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), focuses on limiting the consumption of poorly absorbed fermentable carbohydrates known as FODMAP. These FODMAP are believed to be the primary triggers for food-related gastrointestinal symptoms in functional gastrointestinal disorders. However, there is currently insufficient direct evidence investigating the role of low FODMAP diets in cancer patients undergoing treatment. This review aims to summarize the current evidence on the low FODMAP diet and its potential implications for cancer patients in terms of treatment outcomes, alleviating gastrointestinal symptoms, and overall health. A systematic literature search was conducted using databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Cochrane …
