Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a complex, heterogeneous gastrointestinal disorder that impacts 40-45 million Americans. Food related symptoms are reported frequently in this population. The low FODMAP diet effectively manages symptoms in 50-70% of IBS patients. As there is growing interest in nutritional approaches for IBS symptom management, dietitians should understand how diet may impact functional gut symptoms as well as apply a low FODMAP diet when working with this population. As an evolving nutritional approach, up to date food composition and the latest research will be reviewed.
The live version of this webinar was presented by Kate Scarlata, RDN, LDN, and William Chey, MD, FACG, AGAF, FACP, RFF, on Thursday, June 28, 2018, from 2-3pm ET. This recorded version is approved for 1 hour of continuing education credit. RDs should list code 175 for this activity type.
