Organizing ingredients and meal prepping to follow a low FODMAP diet can be challenging, especially if you're new to it or still in the what-can-I-eliminate-to-feel-better phase. Though everyone is different, and different stomachs react, well, differently to certain foods under low FODMAP guidelines, there's a general group of foods allowed that won't feel funky to your tummy.
Eggs, some cheeses, meats, plant-based milk, rice, quinoa, oats, some veggies (eggplant, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and zucchini), and some fruits (grapes, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple) are generally low FODMAP-friendly. These 19 low FODMAP recipes are easy, healthy, and great for simply feeling your best!
Remember, if you know a particular ingredient will cause gut issues, aim to swap it for something better – or eliminate it all together.
