Happy Monday! I am back from a mini tour of FODMAP educating! I did a FODMAP dietitian workshop in New Jersey and Phili on Friday and Saturday.  I love working with dietitians and teaching the FODMAP diet! Here I am with Patsy Catsos, my co-presenter!This week in Chicago gastroenterologists and health care professionals are meeting […]

Okay, I stumbled on some new info this morning…and since chocolate has been a HOT topic… Drum roll, please! You can officially say, yes, to chocolate….dark chocolate that is.  But the quantity limit is about 2 tablespoons of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips or 30 grams.  BUT….yes, I will take it!  I have been allowing small […]

We were SO lucky to have Jaci Barrett and CK Yao, two of Monash Uni’s low FODMAP diet experts and researchers on a worldwide twitter  FODMAP chat  last night. For those of you that stay clear away from twitter or simply didn’t have time to follow along (or it was too late to join in…it […]

The horse back riding was by far the highlight for me.  So peaceful riding on the beach. Here is Russ with ‘Fred’.  They […]

I am heading off for vacation for the week, so you might not be hearing too much from me. Hang tight, I will answer your questions on my return! BUT I did want to mention for those of you in the New England area…I am very excited to be hosting a low FODMAP cooking, eating, […]

I am beyond excited.  21 Day Tummy was featured on The Doctor’s today How exciting is that? Another opportunity for FODMAPs to get some well deserved attention. I do want to explain something though…because there seems to be a little confusion around why I might have modified FODMAPs in a plan designed to lose weight. […]

Okay, I am about to get all science-y on you.   Are you ready?  Thinking cap on? I attended a great conference last weekend, a SIBO symposium sponsored by the National College of Natural Medicine in Portland, Oregon.  Top SIBO specialists that presented most of the information  at the symposium included: Mark Pimentel, MD, FRCPC, Allison Siebecker, ND, MSOM, […]
