Elizabeth–glad you found Laura’s handout–that will give you some excellent vegetarian low FODMAP guidelines. How about the lentil pilaf? https://blog.katescarlata.com/2013/04/30/lentil-pilaf/ I will need to create a vegetarian section on the blog…just need more time in the week 🙂

Hi, this is great to find. I have downloaded Laura’s document, but I was wondering if you had any more vegan low FODMAP recipes. I’ve just started, and being a vegan is making it quite tricky. Just looking for some new ideas to keep me going. Thanks.

Thank you for this post! I loved the handout. I have been trying to figure out how to get protein without eating lots of meat and the handout and recipe ideas were exactly what I have been looking for! Thank you.

In reply to Liz. HI Liz, Yes galactans, now called GOS, are water soluble fibers. For this reason, using canned beans that are sitting in liquid for some time and then drained are lower than soaking and cooking beans on your own. I have not seen data on black beans though. Kidney beans are very high in GOS while chick peas and lentils are on the lower side. You certainly could try purchasing canned black beans and soaking them and draining a couple times and test them out? Perhaps start with just a tablespoon or two on top of a salad or mixed in with brown rice as a side dish. Beans are healthy so it's all about finding your personal threshold.

Hi Kate,
I was so close to being a vegetarian before I was diagnosed with SIBO. I would love to be able to lessen my chicken and turkey intake (I do eat eggs and fish, mainly salmon, quite a bit). I have seen on the web that rinsing well and then soaking canned black beans in twice refreshed water for 24 hrs. lowers the galactans, as they are supposedly water soluble. Is this credible? That they can be “treated” and become better tolerated? Thanks for your input! I just loved black beans and am looking for a way to integrate them safely into my food plan. 🙂

After producing Betsy’s Tempeh in Mich. for 9 1/2 years and coming up with some nice quick and easy tempeh recipes to hand people when demonstrating our tempeh, this looks terrific.
We have now patent a tempeh incubator that would be useful for restaurants and small shops making healthy food for the local community. We hope to get this project off the ground soon so keep your fingers crossed.
if you are ever in the area of Ventura county Calif, let us know and stop by for a tempeh panini.

In reply to Elise. Thanks Elise! The amount of wheat in soy sauce and tempeh would only be an issue following the gluten free diet. Remember the low FODMAP is not gluten free just modified in wheat.

Just to add a note of caution: Soy sauce and certain brands of tempeh have wheat. Get tamari and GF tempeh to be sure it’s fodmaps friendly.
