Low FODMAP diet - 11 year old boy: case study
The case:
MW is an 11 year old boy referred for “fructose malabsorption”. His Mother describes ‘tummy aches’ for at least a year. This has become more problematic in the last six months (mum often being called to pick MW up from sick bay, frequently missing school). In this case study Marnie illustrates how she explains what FODMAP foods are and what a Low FODMAP diet is. She identifies which foods may be causing MW symptoms and finds alternatives for these. Marnie describes the review appointments with MW, involving a FODMAP challenge schedule.
