The Low FODMAP Diet in Practice Joanna Baker, APD, AN, RN
Until about 10 years ago, dietitians were unsure of what dietary advice to give people with IBS. Dr Sue Shepherd, a GI specialist dietitian went on to complete a PhD at Monash University that resulted in the low FODMAP diet. Today, this diet is internationally recognised as an effective strategy for 80% of people suffering from IBS.
Joanna is a long time IBS sufferer and an authority on the FODMAP diet. This webinar looks at all the FODMAP Fundamentals:
-What is IBS, diagnosis, symptoms both physical and emotional
-What are FODMAPS
-History and development of the low FODMAP diet
-Evidence for the low FODMAP diet – why and how it works!
-Who can benefit from the low FODMAP diet (this may surprise you)
-Client assessment (medical history, diagnostic tests, symptom assessment, social assessment, diet history etc.)
-Implementing the low FODMAP diet and tailoring it to an individual’s needs
