Low FODMAP diet resources

by on

Since 2009, I have been educating people with IBS about the low FODMAP diet.  It has been the most rewarding work I have done in my 25 plus years as a registered dietitian.  From a science nerd perspective, I love how the low FODMAP incorporates concepts from my key nutrition degree classes from food science, anatomy and physiology, microbiology to biochemistry.  But most of all, I love how the low FODMAP diet calms digestive woes…for the majority of people with IBS.

Today, I thought I would gather some of my top resources for those new to following the low FODMAP diet and for the dietitians in the field that are starting to utilize this elimination diet with their patients.  Dietitians: please feel free to use my handouts with your clients.

    I’ve been lurking through your site for a couple of weeks; reading this, printing that… I’m getting used to this new diet… and as a newbie, I cheat every now and then. The cheating has decreased now that I notice the diet is beginning to lull my symptoms (my doctor’s stern looks might’ve persuaded me, too). I think your “How to make a Balanced Low FODMAP menu” handout will due away with most of my bad habits. The menu makes making a meal so easy, and even fun.

    Thanks a bunch! ♥

    I think you should list your books…especially the 21 Day Tummy book and Cookbook!
    It has been essential in getting me on track. I tried for almost 2 years to get this diet right and couldn’t do it. I kept having something pop up and I’d be a bloated mess…again. I was so overweight and couldn’t take it off. I looked pregnant all the time. With the help of your 21 Day Tummy book I was finally able to get the diet under control. It was like an elimination diet for me. I used it, and then added in some more of the foods on the low FODMAP checklist (found out some of the OK, should be in my Moderate list….people are different huh?)

    (I still have a smoothie almost every day! you should promote those!! haha)

    Now I can eat out with more confidence. And I’ve even been able to start challenging some foods! I found out I can eat veggie polyols! Yay, mushrooms and cauliflower. LOL

    Thank you for all the work you do!
    I am always sending people your way.

    Kate,

    Are black beens low FODMAP? I really like black bean pasta and black bean chips, but I am not sure if these are leading to an increase in my symptoms.

    Thank you!
