Trusted Recommendations for Healthcare Professionals

Empower Your Patients to Eat with Confidence

Certified with Confidence

As a globally recognised and trusted certification authority, FODMAP Friendly provides a credible, authoritative, and innovative solution in the low FODMAP space. Our certification empowers you to help your patients “Eat with Confidence” by recommending products that have been scientifically tested and certified. Our commitment to scientific integrity makes us a trusted partner in your clinical practice.

Validated for Patient Safety

We prioritise the integrity of our certification process to ensure health care professionals trust and safety. Each FODMAP Friendly product is assessed by FODMAP-trained dietitians before undergoing rigorous testing at an independent, NATA-accredited laboratory, one of Australia’s largest food testing facilities. Test results are measured against the scientifically established FODMAP thresholds that were developed by our co-founder, Dr Sue Shepherd, one of the team of researchers of the low FODMAP diet at Monash University. To maintain compliance, products are re-tested periodically, ensuring continued safety and reliability for consumers.

Things to consider when recommending non-certified products

We know that not all products on the market can be certified, and as a highly informed, evidence-based practitioner, you are able to differentiate suitable products for your patients. When you do, consider these factors that can impact the FODMAP content, even if they appear suitable:

Ingredient Purity
Processing Methods
FODMAP Stacking

How This Helps Patient Adherence

FODMAP Friendly certified products provide tangible support for your patients throughout their entire low FODMAP journey, fostering adherence and confidence.

Simplify the First Step

In the beginning, patients can often become confused and stressed by the diet’s complexity. The FODMAP Friendly logo acts as a beacon for easy decision-making, and reducing anxiety when grocery shopping.

A whole garlic bulb sits on a brown fabric surface next to two peeled garlic cloves, one with papery skin still attached—a reminder to those following a Low FODMAP Diet that garlic-infused oil may be a flavourful alternative.

Support Structured Reintroduction

To ensure accurate results in the reintroduction phase, it is crucial to maintain a strict low FODMAP diet as a baseline. Using certified products provides reassurance that your patients are consistently adhering to this baseline while systematically testing different FODMAP groups.

Empower Long-Term Dietary Confidence

Once patients have identified their individual triggers and tolerance levels, certified products serve as reliable go-to options during a flare-up or to help minimise symptoms when they choose to consume their trigger foods, fostering self-management and long-term confidence.
