I know all of you that follow my blog are not ‘all about FODMAPs’ so bear with me while I just provide some well-needed updates to my FODMAP peeps. Last week, I was BEYOND excited when I found a little brown envelope addressed to me…all the way from Australia! Last September I was very fortunate […]
