Oh Mary Lou–THANK YOU for keeping me honest!! 🙂
I added wrong–make the flour mixture as directed with the same amounts listed in the ingredients–and you are right, it makes 7 3/4 cups not the 5 1/2 cups I originally stated. Sorry-this is what happens when I try to fit too much into my life!
I love this grainy blend–it makes a nice graham cracker. I think this in one of my favorite recipes to make.

I was going to make the FODMAP graham crackers, but Kate could you please clarify the amts. if you add the flour amts together it makes 7 3/4 cups, not 51/2 as you state before the combo is given. I’m confused, and don’t want to use to much of one flour. Thanks so much.

In reply to Carrie Tatum.

Most legumes are not allowed on the low FODMAP diet. I have not seen data on sorghum but most gluten free grains have been low in FODMAPs–so I allow as tolerated.
Fiber often takes a hit on the low FODMAP diet–be sure you son is getting other high fiber foods on his diet which can help with laxation. Oat fiber, oat bran, rice bran, kiwifruit, blueberries, strawberries, small amounts of flax seed and chia seeds (about 3/4 Tablespoon per sitting) are great sources of fiber. This would be a great topic to address with his dietitian. The diet should be implemented with a dietitian that can tailor the diet to his nutritional goals/needs.

Hi Kate,
Thank you for this blog….so appreciative!! In my latest research for my son who is a Fodmap eater I found that beans were off the list including sorghum flour. I would love for him to be able to eat beans again as a protein. Am I misunderstanding the fodmap diet?
Also, my son has fructose malabsorption with IBS-C. As he eats only off the fodmap diet I am confused why we don’t get better results with his IBS. His nausea is completely gone but without miralax (which we try to use very conservatively ) he doesn’t get success. Thanks for your time. So glad you are safe from the hurricane. Happy Thanksgiving!

Carrie

In reply to EA-The Spicy RD. EA-so love your blog and your great GF recipe inspirations. These grahams are so yummy. My husband finally got home from work in anticipation of the hurricane making landfall and went straight for the grahams. Ha!

So glad you came up with a FODMAPs friendly version! Love the addition of maple syrup, which has been my “go-to” sweetener lately. Stay safe and dry!!!
