Any recs for Tamara anyone?? I can say that I LOVE having the app. It really is a terrific resource and b/c it gets updated from Monash U –the team that is doing the bulk of food testing–it is up to date.

I’m wondering if you might be able to answer a few question I have related to some items on the food guide portion of the FODMAP app… many of the items have generic names like ‘biscuit, savory, plain’ (which looks like a Ritz cracker to me) and ‘bread, wheat white’. I have been having my husband avoid both of these products based on the diet. Do you have any insight as to whether or not I’m reading this correctly, and that those foods are acceptable in the specified quantities? Also, does it matter what ‘brand’?

It also seems tricky with the juices portion, too. For example orange juice 1 is ok in a 1/2 glass portion, but orange juice 2 is not. How would I know what brand? It also looks like vegetable juice brand 1 and 2 are ok… maybe this is V8 which I have been avoiding since it contains beet juice and celery?

I’m not sure, and just looking for others’ experience! I plan to leave a review for the app and hopefully get feedback that way, too.

Thanks!

Yes, Yes, Yes,—it works on the iPad too!!

We make my Grandmother’s German potato salad for Christmas. It is made with potatoes, pickles, parsley and is enjoyed at room temperature–so perfect for summer weather…though we eat it in the freezing cold 🙁 To make it low FODMAP–use white wine vinegar and use chives NOT onion. https://blog.katescarlata.com/recipes/my-german-grandmas-potato-salad/
We love grilled or roasted vegetables–zucchini or eggplant are nice…
Also maple drizzle carrots are nice—I cook up carrot rounds in a bit of water, then add some butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
We also enjoy the Spinach and Brie salad https://blog.katescarlata.com/2012/04/16/spinach-brie-and-walnut-salad/
–we will be having the Spinach brie salad with our Holiday Ham and potato salad this year.

Have you any suggestions for things that we can make/eat for Chrissy? We’re doing prawns and pavlova but any other things you suggest might be suitable? Perhaps roast veggies?

p.s I’m in Australia hence the weather appropriate food 🙂 but suggestions for either hemisphere are good!

I so agree Beatrice. I am consulting on a book project at the moment…and I love having the FODMAP app handy with me wherever I may be! So handy and includes more than the booklet did as well!

Thanks,

Yes both ripe and firm are okay. And thanks…I am very happy you like my little blog 🙂
