Check out Angela Pifer, Functional Medicine Nutritionist and two part article in Today's Practitioner Part 1: The Pervasive Misunderstanding of What The FODMAP Diet Does And Does Not Do

The exaggerated confidence given to the FODMAP diet, that it has the ability to favorably alter the intestinal microbiota, starve out organisms, or alter the immune system by reducing histamines, for example, are unfounded in the literature. The diet is being misrepresented across publications, by practitioners and over social media, and in chat rooms.

In The Pervasive Misunderstanding Of What The Fodmap Diet Does And Does Not Do – Part One, I discuss what the studies are really testing, when they say 'FODMAP DIET,' if this diet has the ability to 'starve' anything out, alter the immune system, or change somatostatin cell density.

In, The Pervasive Misunderstanding Of What The Fodmap Diet Does And Does Not Do – Part Two (which drops next Thursday), I will discuss the misconceptions around LFD and histamine levels and how this is being incorrectly interpreted across current publications, LFD induced changes in nutrient status, the drawbacks to implementing a sweeping low FODMAP diet protocol clinically, and how to correctly implement the LFD into your clinical practice.

Part 1: The Pervasive Misunderstanding of What The Fodmap Diet Does And Does Not Do As the FODMAP diet grows in popularity, we need to be clear about what the research has revealed. There is a pervasive misunderstanding of what the FODMAP diet does and does not do, and how it should be used in a clinical setting.
