The low FODMAP diet, developed by Sue Shepherd PhD, eliminates complex sugars, and has demonstrated a greater relief of IBS symptoms and is now accepted and recommended as one of the most effective dietary therapies for IBS.

FODMAPs is an acronym (abbreviation) referring to Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. These are complex names for a collection of molecules found in food, that can be poorly absorbed by some people. When the molecules are poorly absorbed in the small intestine of the digestive tract, these molecules then continue along their journey along the digestive tract, arriving at the large intestine, where they act as a food source to the bacteria that live there normally. The bacteria then digest/ferment these FODMAPs and can cause symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS). Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome include abdominal bloating and distension, excess gas (flatulence), abdominal pain, nausea, changes in bowel habits (diarrhea, constipation, or a combination of both), and other gastro-intestinal symptoms.Copyright © 2011 Shepherd Works.Further information about FODMAP dietary research may be found at Monash University, Australia, http://www.med.monas...arch/index.html

The low FODMAP diet is best managed through an educated dietitian. This posting is intended to contain a worldwide registry of Dietitians who can administer a low FODMAP diet.Our printable low FODMAP diet page lists suitable and unsuitable foods for a low FODMAP diet.Dietitians: Please follow these instructions for adding your contact information to this registry.Dietitian training: In the U.K., there are trainings at King's College London. In Australia, Monash University runs training workshops for dietitians.
