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.

Hi Patsy,
I was hoping to sign up for the class in NH. Did it fillup before I got registered? If so, would you consider 2 more?
(myself and a co-worker)
Also, I woudl like to be listed as a FODMAP friendly dietitan

[Patsy Catsos]

We don't have a NH workshop on the schedule for this year, you must have seen the link to last year's workshop, which I just took down. I will send you the link to add yourself to the dietitian directory!

[Amanda Helton]

Any chance y'all would come further south for a conference or grand rounds at a teaching facility?

[Patsy Catsos]

We just might some time, but doubt that would be in 2013. But if know if any good speaking opportunities or venues, do let us know.

[Annika]

I would also like to request a workshop on the west coast if possible. Portland is a great city!

[Cathie O]

How about a workshop around FNCE in 2013?

[Patsy Catsos]

Thanks for your suggestion, but it is not in the cards for 2013.
