Thanks for sharing your cooking experiences with this recipe…I think slow cookers do vary –so as a reminder to others–this recipe may require less cooking time. I love the idea of seared scallops… Thanks Ashley!

2 hours was too long for me, it got very sticky even after 1 hour and 45 minutes. The rice was also very bland. I added seared scallops, though, and that was an awesome addition! (I used the fodmap free version: fodmap friendly broth, spinach, and garlic-infused olive oil to replace the fodmap ingredients)

I would like to see side dish recipes. Low FODMAPs is so restrictive on veggies. It is nice to find different ways to cook the few we can eat.

In reply to Lauren. I was just thinking about doing a rice crispy recipe...GREAT idea with the fluff. Thanks for sharing!

I have been on a lowfodmap plan for five months now and feel great! I have shed 50 lbs because without onions I don’t get sick after eating salad! While I have also totally eliminated bread, cookies, and cake (my need), my sweet tooth is very satisfied with gluten free rice krispie treats. I use Kellogg’s Gluten Free cereal, one large container of marshmallow FLUFF and sometimes add chocolate chips. The recipe is fast, no cooking needed and sweet!!
Simply spray a bowl, a 9×13 pan – or smaller if you like thicker squares- and spoon (and your hands if you can deal) with PAM. Scoop out the fluff into the bowl, add the cereal, and chips. Mix with your hands or the spoon. The fluff is covered by the cereal, press mixture into pan. It might be necessary to re-spray the spoon or your hands with PAM. Once the pan is full, you can freeze for 10 min and cut into squares. I usually store in the frig as I like the harder texture.
Enjoy!!

Rachel-See comments above. Rice cakes put together with a layer of peanut butter are a great grab and go snack on the run too. There is a new rice cake called gluten free Kim’s Deli pops–they are a smaller rice cake make with other low FODMAP grains such as quinoa. I like them because they are smaller and thinner than a regular rice cake with a better texture too. Here’s a link: http://www.amazon.com/Kims-Deli-Pop-GLUTEN-Packs/dp/B008H4L63G

Nicole–I love the term ‘lurk’! 🙂 I lurk on sites too! I am glad to know you follow my site and I will try to think of some recipes that may suit your dietary constraints. When fat is an issue, this can be a sign of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth so I encourage you to be tested for that. Perhaps make the granola bars without the chocolate chips. https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/01/11/homemade-and-fab-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-granola-bars/
The mozzarella cheese sticks are a great protein rich snack. Chobani yogurt has been recently tested and the lactose runs around 4-5 grams per container (6 oz) I find I tolerate Chobani pretty well compared to other yogurts. Even if you purchased the larger containers and put about 1/2 cup of the vanilla yogurt and some #fodmap friendly granola or blueberries to top it. Greek yogurt has about 20 grams of protein per 6 oz–an awesome dose of protein. Hard boiled eggs make a good snack on the run too–if you like ’em.

I have been lurking on your site for a while now. I love you’re recipes. I’ve been looking for ideas for ready-to-eat protein sources … something that I can grab and go, even if I need to make a batch of it up on the weekend.

In additional to FODMAPS, I’ve also had to give up citrus and tomato (allergies) as well as high fat foods, chocolate, and tuna (tummy trouble). Luckily, I do not react to small amounts of lactose.

I am SO glad I found this blog. I have been on a low FODMAP diet since March 2012. Being a busy college student only having to cook for myself I would love to see more recipes that are quick and easy to grab on the way to the library or class, that you don’t have to be a chef at (but i’m learning)! Thank you!!
