A Rome Foundation Continuing Medical Education program

This symposium will use a case-based approach to provide answers to questions that commonly arise about the low FODMAP diet when used for patients with IBS:

  1. What is basic dietary advice that can be given to an IBS patient, and how well does it work?
  2. How long should an IBS patient restrict FODMAPs, and what are the risks of prolonged restriction?
  3. How should patients be instructed to reintroduce foods containing FODMAPs?
  4. Are there options for patients who want a dietary approach but feel the traditional low FODMAP diet is impractical or too difficult?
  5. Does the low FODMAP diet offer benefits in all subgroups of patients with IBS?

Summary:

For each question, Rome Board Member William D. Chey, MD, from the University of Michigan, will present the case, the clinical question, and any available scientific evidence addressing the topic. This will be followed by practical dietary recommendations that can be offered to patients by Nancee Jaffe, RDN from UCLA. At the end of this session, participants will not only have a greater understanding of the state of the art regarding the low FODMAP diet for IBS patients but will also have practical strategies on how to address these issues with their patients.
