Low-FODMAP Diet Books and Resources

Here is a list of options for learning about the Low-FODMAP Diet. I highly recommend purchasing a book from these experts. If you comb the Internet you will find many contradictions and misleading information, or only bits and pieces which do not tell you the whole story! All of these books combine education and recipes to make the low-FODMAP diet easier to follow.

This book is very easy to follow and is a great resource. When following the low-FODMAP diet I still highly advise for everyone to work with a FODMAP-trained nutritionist or RD, however, this book is very helpful for all the questions you have about strategy with regard to the phases of the diet. This exceptional book is written by Lee Martin, MSc RD “who has personally completed the diet and recently worked at King’s College London researching the evidence behind the low FODMAP diet”.

The book will provide a structured re-challenging protocol to follow and expose the two main methods you can use to re-challenge individual FODMAPs. A set of tables are provided which detail the foods containing individual FODMAPs to be re-challenged, along with the appropriate portion sizes to consume. Explanations of FODMAP tolerance levels and FODMAP thresholds will help you understand your results.
