Dr Sue Shepherd is a Melbourne-based Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian and an Advanced Accredited Nutritionist who specialises in the treatment of dietary intolerances.
Sue graduated with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Health Promotion and post graduate Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics. She was diagnosed with coeliac disease whilst undertaking her Masters Degree, and it changed her career path – but she believes only for the better! Since being diagnosed with coeliac disease, Sue has maintained a strong commitment to educating people with special dietary needs.
In 1999, Sue developed the Low FODMAP Diet to help bring relief to her private practice patients with IBS symptoms. Following its obvious success in relieving symptoms of hundreds of patients over several years, a number of gastrointerologists approached Sue asking what her secret was.
This led Sue to complete her PhD in 2008 to prove the efficacy of the diet. Following the publication of her groundbreaking research, the Low FODMAP Diet has been scientifically proven, and is now used internationally, as the most effective dietary therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and symptoms of an irritable bowel.
