Drew and his wife Cory are the founders of thegutprogram.com.

Drew has been suffering from IBS for several years, but it was his wife Cory who eventually realised that Drew's chronic symptoms could actually be due to an undiagnosed case of IBS.

After testing positive for fructose intolerance, Drew was told that a low FODMAP diet would help reset his gut and eliminate his symptoms.

Now that Drew has been able to keep his IBS symptoms under control, he wants to help others like him to do the same, this is why he has created a program that not only includes many low FODMAP products, but also many individualised recipes that Drew and Cory create after personally consulting with you.
