The main similarity between the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and a FODMAP-elimination diet is the idea that poorly absorbed carbohydrates are fermented by colonic microbes, and that symptoms result.
Where else could one have a lovely Italian meal in an ancient Medici castle including a before-dinner talk about rumination, fermentation and the fecal microbiome?
We hope that our joint effort in writing IBS-Free Recipes for the Whole Family will help you enjoyably manage a low-FODMAP diet in a family with children, no matter which one of you is the "patient."
