Every dietitian has patients, friends and family members with irritable bowel syndrom (IBS). Every dietitian wants his or her advice to be accurate, up-to-date, and effective. Every dietitian wants to impress referring doctors and put smiles on patients' faces. Every dietitian needs the all-new RD FODMAP Practice Kit by Patsy Catsos, MS, RD, LD.
As a Registered Dietitian seeing IBS patients, finding FODMAPs was a great addition to my care plan, but not until I found Patsy Catsos and her book IBS—Free at Last! was I able to provide a complete and useful program to my clients. --Carol Ireton-Jones, PhD, RD, LD, CNSC, Consultant in Private Practice and Managing Partner Professional Nutrition Therapists, Dallas, Texas www.pntrd.com.

The RD FODMAP Practice Kit is a 27-page e-book (pdf) of reproducible patient handouts, updated in March, 2013. It would take you days to develop and field test all these handouts on your own! Only $24.95, this kit costs less than your earnings from a single IBS consultation, and will help your IBS practice--and your reputation as an effective therapist--grow. Patsy Catsos has a thriving private practice in the specialty area of gastrointestinal health. She created these tools for use in her own practice; they are so effective at helping up to 75% of her IBS clients that she created this e-book to share them with you. Purchase of the kit includes rights for you to print or copy the handouts for patient education purposes. You may also extract text from the document to customize it for your practice, if used with attribution.
The kit is meant for use by dietitians who have read IBS—Free at Last! or have otherwise educated themselves about FODMAPs. RDs may contact the author, Patsy Catsos, for a 35% professional discount code that can be used to purchase one or more copies of IBS—Free at Last! Second Edition from CreateSpace.com.
“I was just stunned—within two days on your FODMAP Elimination Diet I felt relief. I can’t believe that I’ve been miserable all these years and not one doctor asked me anything about my diet. I had every test in the book and ‘eat more fiber’ drilled into my head. I was trying to be a good patient and it was just making me worse. It’s been two months and I feel like I’ve died and gone to heaven.”—C.F.(one of Patsy's patients)

Patsy,
How does one become recognized to teach the FODMAP diet?

Hello Holly, If you are a registered dietitian you will just have to learn the specifics of the diet by educating yourself and you will be good to go. You could read my book, IBS--Free at Last!, purchase my RD FODMAP Practice Kit (see sidebar) or better yet, attend one of the FODMAP workshops that Kate Scarlata and I are planning.

Dear Patsy, I'm a nurse practitioner specializing in gastroenterology and of course I see quite a few of IBS pt. After reading your book, I started to recommend it to my patients. I know you're more specific to RDs but I would also like to be able to educate my patients about this diet.

Are there any practicing FODMAP RDs in South Florida at the moment?
Posted by: Suzanne Fisher RD, LDN | March 12, 2013 at 09:23 AM
I don't know, actually. If they have identified themselves to me, they are on the list of RDs on my site (see tab at top of page), otherwise I have no way to know.
