Korshub's take

A Personal Account of Living the Low FODMAP Diet

This course is framed honestly: it's not medical or dietetic advice, but a first-hand account from someone who has managed IBS with the Low FODMAP approach for years. It shares the practical tips and mistakes learned along the way rather than clinical guidance.

Who It's For

People newly diagnosed with IBS or considering the Low FODMAP diet who want an honest, lived-experience perspective before or alongside working with a qualified dietician.

Key Takeaways

What the Low FODMAP diet involves, as developed by Monash University research
Common early mistakes when self-implementing the diet
Practical tips for the reintroduction phase

The instructor is explicit that this supplements, not replaces, professional dietetic guidance, which is a reasonable and important caveat for anyone actually managing an IBS diagnosis.

About this course

If you suffer from IBS in Australia you'll be put on the Low FODMAP diet as standard. The Monash University in Melbourne were the first to determine a link between certain food groups (FODMAPS) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). For the last 8 + years their research into this area has got better and more valuable for sufferers of this disibilitating condition.

I've lived with IBS for almost 15 years now. After many trips to doctors, specialists and even hospitals nothing was offered up as an answer to my pain. When my first son was born things were so bad that I struggled to pick him up in the evening when I returned from home. Many evenings were spent bent double in pain on the sofa unable to do anything at all. I decided that enough was enough and sought more help.

I found a GP who had heard about this Low FODMAP diet but didn't know about it personally. I spent the next few months researching it online. I became self taught but was still making lots of mistakes. I finally found an excellent dietician who had been trained by Kings College in London in the diet. She was based in Torquay near my home. She was instrumental in helping me implement the diet and teaching me how to reintroduce the different food groups.

Now I am NOT a dietician and if you're serious about this diet you MUST seek help from a professional like this as they will know things I simply don't. What I can give you is an honest account of living with this diet (having done so for two years now). I know the tips and tricks that exist and can really help you implement this in your lives if you're serious in doing so.

If you choose to take the course I wish you the very best. It has been an absolute life changer for me personally so I hope it can be for you too. Good luck.
