So recently learned from my doc that I need to follow a low fodmap diet. It’s no big deal as long as I can eat potatoes (so many amazing things you can do with potatoes). I was wondering if anyone had some great low fodmap recipes that I could make that my wife (who doesn’t need to follow the diet) and I could enjoy. I’m the cook, so as long as she enjoys it, we’re good to go. I just made julienne fries with an egg on top and I found this amazing LFODMAP Louisiana hot sauce that I poured over it all. One of the best brunches Iade since I’ve had to follow this diet.

Edit: Thank you to those who are supportive of medical conditions such as IBS, Crohns, and Celiacs (which are the conditions that should use a low FODMAP diet). Also I’m very appreciative of people who are knowledgeable in the diet that I am referring to

FODMAP MEANS fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols. All the things that are known to trigger reactions in certain GI issues that some people have. It’s an important issue because you have serotonin receptors in your GI tract. It can also impact daily life and sleep!

However, I’m asking for recipes for low FODMAP diets. I ask very respectfully that if you do comment, please give me a recipe(s) instead of expressing the importance of the diet or that you know what the diet is.

Again, respectfully, recipes, please. Stop telling me you know what the diet is.

    My wife had to do the low fodmap thing for a while, but I’m usually the one who does the cooking. She is also vegetarian which limited things even more. The best thing I learned was you could get decent pizza dough by combining gluten free flour and adding back in vital wheat gluten.

    As you probably already know, regular flour isn’t low fodmap, but gluten free flour is. As long as you don’t have an issue with gluten, you can buy and vital wheat gluten separately and mix it in and end up with something that more closely resembles regular dough.

    Unfortunately I don’t remember what ratio I used. I also never tried extending it to other bread-like foods but it might be worth a try. I hope the general idea is enough for you to start some experiments.

    Good luck!
