Program Description:
The FODMAP concept, developed in Australia, is gaining momentum in the US as an emerging evidenced-based dietary approach that is effective in managing symptoms in 75% of those who suffer with IBS. Each participant will receive the most up-to-date information about FODMAPs straight from Australia as well as tools for patient education including reproducible patient handouts (paper/pdf), and a low FODMAP recipe booklet (pdf).
Educational Objectives:
- Describe the common characteristics of FODMAP carbohydrates and how they act in a collective manner to trigger IBS symptoms.
- List prominent food sources of FODMAPs in the US diet.
