Which Spices are Okay to Use on the Low FODMAP Diet?

 

Grocery shopping on the Low FODMAP diet can be a tricky task.

            Wondering Where the Onion and Garlic Are?

            Unfortunately, onion and garlic can do a number on sensitive stomachs. Those household favorite ingredients, which are in every recipe, aren’t exactly FODMAP-safe to eat (especially if you have IBS). There is a workaround, however: Fody’s shallot-infused and garlic-infused olive oils, which are FODMAP-friendly! 

            How do we get the taste without the trouble? By infusing our olive oil. Take garlic, for example: the first step is to select fresh garlic, then peel and clean it. It is then ground into small pieces and cold-infused into extra virgin olive oil (EVOO). Once it’s reached the ideal taste, the oil is filtered, leaving a delicious, low FODMAP EVOO that delivers flavor without discomfort. This means you can still benefit from all that flavor without having to worry about upsetting your sensitive stomach.

            If you don’t have either of our oils on hand, no need to panic! Feel free to substitute onion and garlic for the green tops of chives, which have ​​mild notes of both onion and garlic and are FODMAP-safe to eat in both their fresh and dried formats. You can even grow them in your windowsill or garden!
