In this roundup, I share a few of my favourite low FODMAP dinner recipes. I get it, planning meals around a low FODMAP diet can be tough but with a little creativity and forward planning, and these ideas, you’ll be cooking up a storm without missing those onions and beans.
Being on a low FODMAP diet can help heal IBS, SIBO, and more autoimmune issues with the gut. In short, FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates found in various foods, especially fruits and veggies.
Two of the most commonly used high FODMAP foods are onion and garlic which can be tough to avoid when making dinner recipes. While you can get that flavour with infused olive oil or using the green parts of spring onion, most recipes don’t take into account that anyone might want to omit it entirely.
These low FODMAP dinner recipes, on the other hand, have all been tried and tested without the high FODMAP foods at all. Therefore, we’ve got a few winners here including plenty of foods you would expect to have the forbidden ingredients.
Butter chicken is a classic Indian dish that contains a blend of amazing flavours and rich texture. This variation omits dairy entirely and substitutes a much heavier dish with coconut milk instead.
