Hmmm Katie-not sure if the spices could have done it–wonder if it could have been the diced tomatoes–so many varieties contain onion and garlic–double check the can to see if that may be the case.

First off, thank you for this blog! I’ve been doing the FODMAPS elimination diet for the past week and a half, and I’ve referred to this blog a ton. My symptoms went away (amazingly!) at first, but this week some of the bad symptoms came back, once after eating a variation of this dish (I omitted cheese and used polenta instead of corn tostadas). The only thing I can think of was the spices (I used cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper). I’ve never been able to find any FODMAPS info on spices other than onion and garlic powder, so I was wondering what you thought.

In reply to Ashlee. Ashlee-THANKS for pointing that out...I tolerate chili powder so did not notice that many blends have small amounts of garlic. LABEL reading is so key with the low FODMAPs diet and I am so grateful you pointed this out to me! McCormick has a chipotle chili pepper powder that is nice. And also check out this online store with many types of chili powders. I called them specifically about the California chili powder by El Sol de Mexico and this product is garlic free according to the staff person I spoke with.

Hi Kate
I was wondering if you’ve found a chili powder without onion or garlic powder included. The chili powders I’ve used really bother me. Or is there any way to create my own?
Thanks for all your recipes and help!
