Say…..what????? To say I am on a mission to get the word out about the low FODMAP diet for those experiencing digestive discord:  gas, bloating, and simply miserable belly busting misery….would be an understatement. Years ago, when I was combing through the research and stumbled upon the term FODMAPs, I had an “Ah-ha” moment.   […]

Happy 2014! Well this New Year, I have so many new things in store.  I am in the midst of merging my website and blog and giving it all a fresh new face.  Very exciting…stay tuned –should be up and running by the end of the month. I tend to look at the start of […]

It’s ALWAYS exciting when the Monash University researchers provide updates on food or beverage regarding FODMAP content. Well….if you are like me, today is your lucky day!

An extra perk: I met Mark Pimentel, […]

I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful weekend! Russ, our boys and my Mom went up to New Hampshire to visit with my sister Trisha and her boyfriend Mark.  They live near a beautiful lake and we all relaxed and took it down a notch. I so…love the summertime. We ended Saturday night with a […]

It can be quite debilitating.  The low FODMAP […]
