I want to bake my own bread and cookies as they taste so much better. I am new to FODMAP and don’t see these items listed on the handouts I have been given.
Thank you

I used pecans, and skipped the frosting, I don’t do we’ll with cream cheese, and they are still very good. The pineapple is which a great addition!

I made these muffins tonight and they are seriously delicious!! I’ve been craving something sweet that wouldn’t make me feel sick, and these fit the bill perfectly. I added 3/4 tsp salt to strengthen their flavor a bit. And I’m suprised at how well my gluten free flour did! Hardly any difference. Yay!! Thank you!!

Ruth

Thank you! I have yet to find a protein powder without a llloooonng ingredient list, which is why I tend to stay away. I love coconut milk, so I will give that a try. Thank you again for the advice and recipes!

Hi Vanessa…I am not a huge fan of protein powders–I think when possible use real ingredients and whip up a nice concoction. How about light coconut milk (2/3 cup) with a scoop of peanut butter and a frozen banana? This would give you about 300 plus calories or try a container of lactose free yogurt (Green valley) with a cup of frozen strawberries and perhaps a tsp or 2 of chia seeds blended.
If you feel strongly about trying a protein powder–there are some that are fine–such as this rice protein powder. http://www.nutribiotic.com/rice-protein-plain-21oz.html

I have mastered, g.f. Zucchini / carrot bread. Blueberry/lemon bread, banana & pumpkin breads. But my Italian grandmothers baked goods just don’t want to convert! Stuborn just like the woman I am trying to copy:)
P.S. I am g.f., low fodmaps, and ibs. Your site has been a wealth of info for me, thank you for every post and bit of info.

Do you have any tips for someone with IBS looking to gain weight? I need to put on some weight, and am thinking about supplementing with a protein shake. I don’t know if there are any that are good for sensitive stomachs (A big trigger for me is lactose, and I’m not sure if whey protein will trigger symptoms). Any suggestions ould be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Gluten free baking can be a bit tricky Mary Lou–I am new to it and sometimes it works and sometimes not so much. 🙂

Today I tried to make a plain biscotti reciepe that was my grandmothers, I made it gluten free. I have a lot of cookies to throw away. I’ll make something you already proved to work:)
