PHARMACISTS are being invited to attend sessions on "The Low FODMAP Diet in Practice," with seminars to take place in Sydney on Sat 20 May and Brisbane on Sat 03 Jun 2017.
The low FODMAP diet is claimed to provide effective symptom management in up to 70% of people with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), with the events covering the fundamentals of the diet as well as diagnostic tests and when to recommend it to patients.
IBS affects 10-25% of the population, with research over the last decade identifying fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs) as a major trigger for gastronintestinal symptoms in people with the condition.
