Dorothy, thank you so much for taking the time to write us. I tend to send this article to people quite frequently because it does contain information the day perhaps have never seen before, or at least not explained in the way that we do. I have a suggestion for you… sign up for our newsletter and you will be funneled into what we call our Quick Start. What will happen is you will get a flurry of emails that contain many many links to articles such as this. These emails are meant to be saved for future reference. And then the emails even out to about twice a week, so don’t panic if it seems like a lot at once. We are so glad you joined our community and we wish the best for you and your husband

Hi Linda, the diet is focused more on stacking. Stacking is when you eat too many fructans, for instance, at one meal. It is not a “low carb” diet so carbs are not monitored in that way. And you will notice the fine print in the app will treat certain foods differently, like vegetables vs. fruit. Those serving sizes are based on Australian healthy eating guidelines (which clouds the FODMAP issue a bit).The amounts, BTW, that are listed in the app entries are per meal, not per day. Give yourself about 3 hours between meals. Try reading this stacking article for more info.
