You may be thinking about trying the Low FODMAP diet. The FODMAP diet has been shown to improve symptoms in 50-80% of patients with IBS but it’s not for everyone. In fact you may not even need to try it at all. Before starting the Low FODMAP diet, you may need to make some basic “first line” changes to your diet.

Why your Dietitian really needs you to fill in that food diary

They are a pain, yeah I know, right, but your Dietitian may give you a food diary to complete between visits. This is very likely if you are starting an elimination diet for IBS or food intolerance testing but you could be asked to complete one of these for many other reasons. We don’t just give these as instruments of torture… honestly! There is a reason behind asking you to complete these and a very good reason to ask you to….please, oh please….fill them out as best as you can. They don’t have to be perfect, just give it your best shot.

You may have heard of the low FODMAP diet, the Australian “invented” diet which has a reported 75% success rate in significantly reducing IBS symptoms. Lately I’ve been quite concerned to hear that a lot of people have been trying to “go it alone” on the low FODMAP diet. I’ve even been hearing from clients that their GPs have diagnosed them with IBS and then suggested they google FODMAPs in order to follow the diet. While following the diet may give great results, it can also be a confusing and difficult process without the help of a Dietitian.
