Pages: 1 Patsy Catsos, a low fodmap diet dietician, view on Heathers diet.       #369308 - 03/03/13 01:45 PM Edit Reply Quote Cyndy Reged: 03/05/05 Posts: 1301 She wrote "IBS-Free at Last". In an interview she said "Heather has clearly helped many IBS sufferers by bringing attention to the whole issue of IBS and diet. Her approach may have been up-to-the minute in 2000, but now we know that "low-fat" and "no red meat" diets across the board for IBS are not necessary. A large part of her business is devoted to promoting fiber supplements for IBS, but the most recent studies have shown that fiber supplements help a minority of people, but fact, eight recent reviews have uniformly concluded that fiber has little or no benefit for most IBS patients". Heather, I think you should be aware of this.

Never - Mind - found it ! I would like to get the references for the 8 reviews she mentioned. I have most of the latest reviews and they don't seem to conclude the same thing. In 2009 the American College of Gastroenterology published a report titled An Evidence-Based Systematic Review on the Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome that set the guidelines for managing IBS. On page S17 they say that soluble fiber (psyllium) is moderately effective and it was given a conditional recommendation. I suspect that taking a soluble fiber inconjunction with following the FODMAP diet might be a bit more effective than just following the FODMAP diet alone. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     It's an old quote and I don't agree, obviously. -nt-       #369310 - 03/04/13 09:40 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
