Our guests for this episode are Foddies Cafe' owners Chrissy and Luke.
If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and live in Australia, around Melbourne, you are in luck. Foddies Cafe' is a gluten-free, low FODMAP restaurant offering mouth watering dishes for all of us suffering from various food intolerance and allergies. The owners of Foddies Cafe' Chrissy and Luke are also working hard at providing tasty low FODMAP options to the rest of Australia and who knows...eventually the rest of the world.
Starting off with an online store, the popularity of their low FODMAP food products prompted Chrissy and Luke to start up a café where the public can physically go to enjoy intolerance-friendly dishes. Taking their commitment seriously, gluten cross-contamination is minimised by keeping dedicated food prep areas, appliances and utensils. Though their emphasis is on low FODMAP and gluten-free diets, they also cater to other dietary needs. They coined the name Foddie to help create a positive spin on digestive problems that are so often discussed in a negative light.
