This workshop for Registered Dieticans is bound to be a wealth of information. I'm a patient of Kate Scarlata and the information she has to share is the latest available. It's wonderful that Kate and Patsy have combined forces to educate their peers so more patients can feel their best after being diagnosed with Fructose Malabsorption and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. Best wishes for a successful FODMAPS workshop ladies.

I would love to be in on this, but live on the West coast. Is there any chance you could record it and sell that for those of us that can't come?

Or use the material to set up a later webinar?
Thanks!
Kathy Nichols, RD

[Patsy Catsos]

Hi Kathy, No plans at this time to record the workshop event; there will be a lot of discussion and face-to-face interaction that won't lend itself to other formats.

[Whitney]

I hope you plan to offer a similar workshop again. Do you have any plans or dates you can let us know of yet for 2013?

[Patsy]

Yes, we are planning several workshops for 2013, so stay tuned!
