Hello,

In reply to Eran. Perhaps try buckwheat and a little rice bran mix?

Looks delicious. However, my blood test results showed I’m sensitive to both wheat and oats/millet. Any substitute you can think of for this rather “main” ingredient in these (and other) bars/granola? Thanks

In reply to K.

I don’t think that it would be a lactose problem…it could be a dairy intolerance altogether or perhaps the lactose foods are also high in fat and that triggers your symptoms? You could try to use low fat lactose free milk and remove all other lactose containing foods and assess your tolerance? If okay, try small amounts of cheddar cheese–most should be lactose free?…and again see how you do. Also, if you have not been tested for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth this would be a reason you are not symptom free…I would assume you have been tested for celiac disease?[you need to be consuming wheat for the test to be accurate so I encourage celiac testing before trying the diet] Are you working with a dietitian…a health care professional who understands your medical history is key to working with you and this diet!

I have been lactose intolerant for as long as I can remember, and I am also FODMAP intolerant. I have had a hard time getting 100% symtom free and now I am thinking if this is due to the fact that I often eat “lactose reduced” foods instead of “lactose free” ones. Can small amounts of lactose create a build-up during the day? It would be around 1 g (or slightly less) lactose per meal, and 4 or 5 meals in total. What do you think? Is this enough to start a reacton in a very sensitive person?
