I julienne a zucchini and carrot in place of noodles. Love them!! I do use coconut aminos-doesn’ give me hives and crust on my face like soy does. I use garlic infused olive oil in place of garlic.

In reply to KT-Rex. Katie, Fish sauce should be an okay substitute for this recipe--most seem to be low FODMAP but read ingredients of course to be sure.

I’m interested in trying this out tonight but I’m avoiding soy and corn this week (I think one or both have been causing me some issues. Would fish sauce be a good substitute for soy sauce? If not, what would you recommend?

In reply to Jeanne Burt. Not sure about garlic chives--maybe a new type? Can't comment on that. BUT, leek greens and scallion greens are considered low FODMAP the white part is a source of FODMAPs. Chives also are considered low FODMAP. Hope that helps Jeanne!

The blog from Caroline mentioned she used ‘garlic chives’ in the Asian Sesame Chicken Stir Fry and I wondered if they different from just chives. Don’t really understand the difference between many of the onion family: chives, garlic chives, scallions, green onions, leeks with respect to FODMAPS. Does the ‘green part only’ directive apply to them all?

In reply to Saskia.

Saskia, Not sure about the coconut aminos–maybe given them a try–would think they’d be okay. Hemp seeds have not been tested. I would not have them -as we don’t know about FODMAP content. Perhaps test them after elimination phase.
And kelp noodles–not sure either. Great questions though….perhaps try to them after elimination phase as well.

Hi Kate, I can’t do soy sauce due to a soy allergy, but was wondering if coconut aminos (made by coconut secret) is low FODMAPS. If not, what might I sub in for the soy sauce?

Also, I can’t find any info on hemp seeds. So for elim phase I should treat them as I do all other nuts and seeds; 1-2 T max per meal?

Do you know about kelp noodles and FODMAPS? I’m not eating grains and these are a yummy sub.

Thanks for your great blog!

In reply to Samantha Matete. Samantha, I have not seen any data on coconut aminos. There is only a small amount of sugar in it so may be okay but can't say for sure.
