Inulin tends to be a tough fiber additive for anyone w/ IBS–though everyone is a bit different. I would recommend adding fiber via low FODMAP fiber sources during the elimination phase of the diet–and then explore tolerance to inulin supplemented products during the challenge phase. Chia seeds, oat bran, rice bran, quinoa, strawberries offer great low FODMAP fiber. If following GF diet–choose GF oat bran too!

The Vanilla Rice dream would be allowed on the low FODMAP diet to the best of my knowledge!

Also!! What are your thoughts on the Vega (one nutritional shakes)? I know it has inulin in it, but considering I do have IBS-C shouldn’t I be having fibre in my diet to help me go to the washroom?

Thanks!!

Thanks 🙂

The FODMAP app (Monash) says that Sugar Bananas (ripe) should be limited–this is a different variety from the common banana. The ripe common banana is allowed on the low FODMAP diet -serving size 1 medium.

I have not seen data on the other nut milks and I would think that likely most nut milks will run high in FODMAPs–that is because the FODMAPs in nuts are water soluble fibers (fructans and GOS) and they can leach into the liquid in preparation of the milk. We will know for sure when they are adequately tested. For now, I don’t recommend them on the elimination phase. Coconut milk, however has been tested and is low FODMAP –perhaps try that?

Saskia, You must have been looking at very old posts. The diet is evolving and we are learning more about FODMAPs on a regular basis.
US info had raspberries as having excess fructose so originally I was not sure if I should allow. Since then, I have moved them into the low FODMaP group. Please use my up-to date check list.
