After almost 45 hours of travel Patsy finally arrived at Monash University in Australia, where she attended a FODMAP seminar, met the Monash researchers, and delivered 80 loaves of U.S. bread to the FODMAP laboratory.

After almost 45 hours of travel Patsy is pictured here at Monash University in Australia. She attended a FODMAP seminar, met the Monash researchers, and delivered 80 loaves of U.S. bread to the FODMAP laboratory.

There are many ways to learn more about FODMAPs, depending on your purpose, your budget and your time frame. You can certainly learn more about FODMAPs the way I continue to do, by reading hundreds of papers a year and by traveling around the world to learn directly from scientists at research symposiums.

Or, you can begin with some of these considerably more accessible option:

  • Learn one-on-one in a private session with Patsy Catsos. Work with Patsy as a patient or just book a one time session for education tailored to your questions.

  • The IBS Elimination Diet and Cookbook (Harmony Books, 2017), which replaced my original book, IBS—Free at Last! This title is available wherever books are sold in North America.

  • IBS-Free Recipes for the Whole Family, written with recipe developer Lisa Rothstein and pediatric dietitian Karen Warman.

  • The Flavor without FODMAPs Cookbook (2014) contains 122 recipes suitable for the elimination phase of the FODMAP diet. It is available as a paperback or Kindle book. The everyday and special-occasion recipes in this book will help you get the most out of your low-FODMAP diet.

  • Patsy Catsos is a continuing professional education provider for registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), and a frequent speaker at professional association conferences. View upcoming workshops and talks here.

Excellent! I tried apps, online blogs & research, other books, and all I got was conflicting information. Ms Catsos explains why the conflicting information, gives seven days of menus, a shopping list for the week and recipes (surprisingly good). She teaches how to modify recipes, what foods should be in one’s pantry, and how to reintroduce foods. She explains how to customize the plan. She says not to graze & explains why. None of the blogs or books I read said this. That suggestion alone made a huge difference!
