The Best Low FODMAP Recipes | Feed Me Phoebe (2024)

For a more up-to-date and complete collection of healthy low FODMAP diet recipes, grab your copy of SIBO Made Simple–it has over 90 low FODMAP recipes that are also anti-inflammatory, with modifications for low histamine, yeast and candida-friendly and vegetarian.

When I first put together this round-up of the best low FODMAP recipes in 2016, I did so because of popular demand.


I hadn’t yet had the necessity to omit this complex system of carbohydrates, and frankly, I thought the prospect sounded pretty miserable.

As always, the best way to tempt the universe is to tell the powers that be that you will not be signing up for a particular trail up Health Mountain. And sure enough, flash forward to earlier this year when I was diagnosed with SIBO and told that my best shot of eradicating this bacteria from my life was to take on a low FODMAP diet, start digestive enzymes for IBS, and attempt to heal my gut.

I’ve learned so much about cooking for a low FODMAP diet since then, which I wrote about in this post. And as of recently, I officially have my very own cookbook with over 90+ low FODMAP recipes and 12 weeks worth of batch cooking meal plans!

The laundry list of items to remove during a low FODMAP elimination diet on the surface makes as little sense as a Rihanna-Paul McCartney collaboration, and I assumed it would also be ten times less awesome. To my surprise though, once I got the hang of it, my meals were no less delicious at home. And this list of recipes for condiments, snacks, easy dinners, rice and grains that I already had in my back pocket, thanks to all your requests, proved to be an invaluable resource.

Many of the dishes below are not completely FODMAP-free. After all, for the rest of us omnivores, garlic and onion are pretty much always VIP’s at the party. But I’ve included notes on what to sub. And I think you’ll find these flavor combinations to be a breath of fresh air.

Having received many meal plans from doctors, I can say that low FODMAP recipes recommended by nutritionists and medical professionals can often leave much to be desired for those of us more foodie, culinary-minded souls.

I hope that the lowFODMAPfolks out therefind this recipe round-up helpful. And for the rest of you, simply ignore the notes, and feast on some amazing inspiration from the bloggers around the web that are constantly inspiring me!

Lastly, I’ve added many new low FODMAP dishes to my repertoire in the last few months–for the most up to date offerings, check out the recipe database here. In addition, as my gift to you, I’ve created a brand new FREE e-book for you to download!

FAQs

What foods are unlimited on low FODMAP diet? ›

Instead, base your meals around low FODMAP foods such as:

  • Grains like rice, quinoa and oats.

What if I cheat on the low FODMAP diet? ›

You do not need to restart the low FODMAP phase just because you had a cheat day or some high FODMAP food. You only need to stay in the strict low FODMAP phase until you have good symptom control and then you can start re-introducing high FODMAP foods.

What serving of peanut butter is low FODMAP? ›

Remember, it's important to moderate your intake of even low FODMAP foods. While peanut butter is low FODMAP, there's still a safe serving size – two tablespoons.

What meat is not low FODMAP? ›

Low FODMAP choices include plain cooked meats, poultry, seafood, eggs, while high FODMAP options include marinated meats, processed meats (e.g. sausage / salami) and meats served with gravy/sauces that may include high FODMAP ingredients.

What happens if you stay on the low FODMAP diet too long? ›

If you skip these foods for too long, you may starve helpful bacteria colonies and cultivate unhealthy bacteria. Over time, if you follow only strict low FODMAP eating, you might notice yourself getting more tired, having more headaches, constipation, muscular weakness, or getting sick more easily.

Why do I feel worse on low FODMAP diet? ›

You may also be eating more starches and sugars from hyper-processed gluten free, low FODMAP packaged foods than usual, which may overwhelm the absorption capacity of a sensitive, hyper-active gut. If you suspect this, try eating more fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and see how you feel.

Why am I gaining weight on low FODMAP diet? ›

A person with IBS may try to eliminate certain high FODMAP foods from their diet and choose safer foods instead. This approach can lead to weight gain if their chosen foods are high in carbohydrates and fats. A low FODMAP diet does exclude a range of nutritious foods.

Is a banana low in FODMAP? ›

Unripe bananas are low in FODMAPS and therefore a better choice for people with IBS — although they're not as sweet or soft as ripe bananas. However, as bananas ripen, they accumulate a type of FODMAP called oligofructans. Therefore, ripe bananas are considered a high FODMAP food (6, 7 ).

What butter can you have on low FODMAP? ›

In fact, butter, as a fat, contains no FODMAPs at all. This means that butter is totally suitable on the low FODMAP diet. However, there is a caveat. Fats can affect gut motility, and, as Monash writes, can be an additional symptom trigger when consumed in excess.

Is coffee low in FODMAP? ›

Yes, instant coffee (both regular and decaf) is considered low FODMAP. Monash lists a low FODMAP serving as 4g or 1 heaped teaspoon mixed with 230ml water. Keep in mind that coffee can irritate the gut and stimulate gut motility, separate to the issue of FODMAPs.

What are the negatives of the fodmap diet? ›

There is also concern that long-term restriction of high-FODMAP foods changes the makeup of bacterial colonies in the gut, which may negatively impact intestinal health and possibly worsen digestive issues over time. Oligosaccharides, in particular, are an important energy source for beneficial bacteria.

How to get a flat stomach with IBS? ›

Weight loss for people with IBS is very possible. We recommend implementing methods such as choosing protein over carbs, trying low-FODMAP foods, drinking plenty of water, avoiding junk food, and increasing physical activity in your everyday routine to successfully manage and even lose weight.

Can you eat hummus on a low FODMAP diet? ›

To create a FODMAP safe, homemade hummus we need to use well-rinsed, canned chickpeas which have a low FODMAP serving size of ¼ cup or 42g. The easiest way to keep your portion low FODMAP is to use no more than 42g of chickpeas per serving and multiply this by how many portions you would like to make.

Can you stay on a low Fodmap diet forever? ›

The short answer is no. In fact, we do not encourage patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome who have been following a low FODMAP diet to continue the diet in the long term.

How do you stay full on a low Fodmap diet? ›

Add protein sources at meal times and fill up on these first

Try to include a source of these low FODMAP proteins at meal times: Animal sources: Eggs, chicken, lamb, beef, fish, pork, turkey. Check that no added FODMAPs are introduced such as onion/garlic sauces used as flavourings.

Can I eat as much low FODMAP food as I want? ›

Often a food will have low FODMAP, moderate FODMAP and high FODMAP serving sizes. That means even if a food is listed as low FODMAP, that doesn't always mean you can eat unlimited quantities without triggering symptoms.

What happens if you eat a high Fodmap food on low Fodmap diet? ›

Many people are able to eat high-FODMAP foods without issue. But for other people, high-FODMAP foods cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, gas, and bloating.
