This was an outstanding podcast. I finally feel I understand FODMAPS. Scarlata explained in such a clear way. I am no longer reluctant to approach this topic. Thank you!

Awesome podcast episode! I’ve always been an avid reader of Kate’s blog since I was diagnosed with IBS and was now on the low FODMAP diet.
Thanks Soundbites for having a FODMAP podcast episode! Hoping for more!
Thanks Amy! It was a very popular episode so I will definitely plan on having Kate back!
