LOW FODMAP DIET - What is it and why see a Dietitian❓

Our Accelerate Nutrition team of Dietitians have completed further training in using Low FODMAP Diets for people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Gut health is a passion area for us – we love helping people manage their gut symptoms, feel great and eat freely again 👍

FODMAPs are a group of short-chain carbohydrates (sugars) that aren’t absorbed properly in the gut, which can trigger symptoms for people with IBS.  FODMAPs are found naturally in many foods and food additives.

IBS is a very common gut problem with symptoms including abdominal pain 🙇, bloating, wind 💨 and changes in bowel habit 🚽 (diarrhoea, constipation, or both). 

The Low FODMAP diet consists of three phases: 1️⃣ FODMAP restriction 2️⃣ FODMAP reintroduction and 3️⃣ FODMAP personalisation. 

Dietitian’s 🙋‍♀️ have extensive knowledge of food and nutrition and are the experts in educating people on disease-specific dietary advice, including IBS.

👉 A 2019 study found that IBS symptoms and Low FODMAP diet compliance were both improved in people who sought Dietitian guidance.

👉 Seeing a Dietitian helped people to achieve the therapeutic target for FODMAP intake, and improved their ability to correctly follow the diet’s 3 phases.

👉Without Dietitian guidance, people were twice as likely to be non‐responders to the diet (

THE RIGHT WAY TO SANDWICH 🥪
The humble sandwich is a staple for many - it’s easy and quick to prepare and handy for transporting to work or school.

Here’s our essential checklist for a nutritious, balanced sandwich:

✅ Wholegrain bread 🍞
✅ Plenty of salad (lettuce, cucumber, spinach, coleslaw, grated carrot, tomato, beetroot) 🥬🍅🥒🥕
✅ Lean protein (shredded chicken or beef, mashed egg, Turkey slices or tinned tuna/salmon) 🥚🍗
✅ Flavours (tomato relish, low-fat mayo, pickles, mustard, hummus, tzatziki, sliced olives, cheese slices) 🧀🫒🧅

❗️ TIP: To avoid a soggy sandwich when preparing your sandwich ahead of time, pack your sandwich filling in a separate container and assemble before eating! 🥪

CHOLESTEROL ❤️
Our cholesterol levels are controlled by many factors - Diet is one modifiable factor that can favourably shift both total cholesterol and HDL/LDL, or ‘good’ to ‘bad’ cholesterol ratio.

👉Here are 4 key dietary habits to adopt if you are trying to ⬆️ the ‘good’ cholesterol and ⬇️ the ‘bad’ cholesterol

1️⃣ Reduce your intake of saturated fats (fatty cuts of meat 🥩and skin-on poultry, coconut oil, butter, ghee) and minimise your intake of trans fats (commercial-bought pies, sausage rolls, cakes and pastries) 🍩🧁🥐

2️⃣ Eat plenty of vegetables, fruits and legumes 🥒🥕🍌

3️⃣ Consume foods with plant sterols daily (Switching your Weet-bix for the cholesterol-lowering version is a simple swap). 🥣

4️⃣ Choose healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, nuts and seeds 🥑🥜🌰

SEAFOOD SUPERFOODS🦞

Seafood has a great nutrition profile:

✅ High in protein
✅ Low in saturated fat
✅ Excellent source of omega-3s
✅ Rich source of vitamins A, D and B-complex
✅ Excellent source of minerals - zinc, iodine, selenium and iron

‼️ Did you know that just 4 oysters (15g each) provides 100% of the recommended daily intake of zinc for adults
