Thanks to Pan Macmillan we are giving away 10 copies of “The Two-Step Low-FODMAP Diet and Recipe Book” by Dr Sue Shepherd, RRP $34.99.

  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) affects one in seven Australians
  • Both in Australia and internationally, the low-FODMAP diet is regarded as the most effective and accessible treatment for IBS and associated food intolerances
  • Dr Shepherd’s book is a complete guide to managing IBS and food intolerance symptoms
  • Contains 80 delicious recipes, plus a step-by-step guide on reintroducing restricted ingredients

The low FODMAP diet is internationally regarded as the most effective treatment for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and associated dietary illnesses, including gluten, lactose and fructose intolerances.

Advanced Accredited Practising Dietician Dr Sue Shepherd is the creator of the diet and its chief advocate. She has spent years developing and refining the treatment for her many patients and her thousands of readers. In The Two Step Low FODMAP Diet and Recipe Book, Dr Shepherd outlines a plan that offers sufferers an accessible approach to ensure symptom-free enjoyment of good food and to promote long-term health. The first step involves the identification and restriction of irritating high-FODMAP foods; the second step helps users test and phase in key ingredients to ensure the diet is as non-restrictive as possible.

Complete with menu plans, shopping guides, travel information, advice on feeding children, and restricted ingredient lists, this is a comprehensive and easy-to-follow guide to making the low FODMAP approach part of everyday life. In addition, there are 80 delicious recipes, from breakfast to baked goods, pastas, salads, desserts and lunchbox treats, all based on readily available
ingredients and suitable for the entire family.

Dr Sue Shepherd is an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian with seventeen years’ experience. Sue has coeliac disease, and in 2008, completed her PhD research into aspects of coeliac disease, Low-FODMAP Diet, fructose malabsorption and irritable bowel syndrome. Sue developed the “Low-FODMAP Diet” for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. She has graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Promotion and post graduate Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics. Her expertise is recognised internationally and she has won numerous awards including the Dietitians Association of Australia Annual Award for Achievement for outstanding contribution to the profession, and Douglas Piper Young Investigator Award from the Gastroenterological Society of Australia.
