Colleen Francioli is a certified nutritionist and author with a focus on helping people with IBS, other functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) and food intolerances. She once suffered from IBS herself and has since found life balance with the low-FODMAP diet, an elimination diet developed in Australia, proven to help relieve symptoms of IBS. 

Colleen started her blog www.FODMAPLife.com to help others with IBS learn how to choose the right foods and stress relief instead of pharma drugs. Colleen's book The Everything® Low-FODMAP Diet Cookbook is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Indieboundand and is due to be published in May 2016. It has more than 300 low-FODMAP and gluten-free recipes, plus diet basics, tips, menu plans as well as low- and high-FODMAP lists.
