Alternative Foods
As you’re probably aware the lowfodmap diet is not the easiest to follow! When I first started I would be cooking the same ‘bland’ meals every day, feeling frustrated that I would be living like this forever! The foodie that I am, I found this very stressful and not to mention boring! After undertaking some research I found that there are quite a few alternative foods that can replace ‘high fodmaps’. I started incorporating these into my dishes, and now regularly cook different meals, and play around with the ingredients.
I have added a list below of some of the non-suitable high fodmap foods, and what I use as their replacement;
| HIGH FODMAP | ALTERNATIVE |
| Garlic | Garlic-infused olive oil |
| Milk | Lactose-free milk, almond milk |
| Wheat/rye based cereals | Gluten free cornflakes, nutribex, oats |
| Honey | Maple syrup |
| Cashews | Peanuts, walnuts |
| Mushrooms | Oyster mushrooms |
| Onions | Green part only of spring onions |
| Yogurt | Alpro plain (in moderation) |
Please let me know if you have any other alternatives, I would love to hear!
