The past 2 weeks I had the pleasure to work with Laura Fafard.  Laura is a dietetic intern at Stony Brook University, who is very interested in the low FODMAP diet.  She has developed a Vegan Menu Planning handout for those on the low FODMAP diet.  Click here for Laura’s Vegan FODMAP diet handout This […]

With all the rain we are having in the Boston area, a nice cup of warm something sounds pretty relaxing. But, ingredients in a warm cup of relaxing and soothing tea, can make a difference for those with IBS or FODMAP sensitivities! Tea, coffee and cocoa are some of the recent products tested by Monash […]

The new craze in running is color running and quite honestly this is right up my alley. I love running and well, why not make it even funner? This morning Russ and I participated in a Splash Color run….and we got messy and sweaty and we loved it! We started out nice and clean.   […]
