Kate,
Thank you so much for your blog. A low fodmap diet was recommended to my husband two months ago and his doctor’s only recommended resourse was your blog. Your resources have been so helpful. Thankfully this diet has helped my husband immensely. The Forbbiden Rice Salad recipe looks great but I am concerned about the garlic chili paste. Should I omit that ingredient?
Virginia-I would not try the Forbidden rice dish at this time. Some of my very early blog recipes are not fodmap friendly! Stick with recipes in the fodmap recipe section or recipes I have provided in the past year. When I first started my blog I had no idea I would be doing a low FODMAP blog- but my followers were all wanting this info so I started limiting all my recipes to low FODMAP.
Thanks for the quick update. I love your blog!
