Thanks, Kate — that helps 🙂

We don’t have any data on wheat grass or wheat grass juice. I say, leave it out while on elimination phase. Gluten, a protein, is not a FODMAP, which are carbohydrates–but sources of gluten include-wheat, barley and rye–which also contain FODMAPs. Confusing–but hope that helps.

Speaking of smoothies, how about wheat grass or wheat grass juice as an ingredient?

Does it have gluten, thereby making it a FODMAP?

Thanks,
Lauren

Stephanie, not sure about quinoa milk but if I had to guess, I think it might be okay or at least better than almond. Coconut milk, lactose free cow’s milk, rice milk would all be other options to try. But read ingredients. Many milks are now adding inulin or chicory root extract….so be careful!

Hi Kate,
Thanks for the comments, I’ve been given information that almond milk is okay so good to know that it MAY possibly be a FODMAP! Someone recently posted a recipe for quinoa milk, any thoughts on that? Besides coconut milk, any good substitutes? Thanks!

Oh yes! I will use Rice or coconut milk instead – thank you for that! It’s time to get my smoothie-making on! Thanks again : )

In regard to all the wonderful smoothie inspirations…I can see many of you are enjoying smoothies with some ingredients that may or do have FODMAPs…I don’t want some of the newbies to be confused. Some of my blog followers have past through the elimination phase (the strict phase) and have tested their tolerance to some of the FODMAPs and can enjoy some of these ‘forbidden foods’ from the elimination phase…so there are many people using Almond milk….and for the newbies, almond milk has not been thoroughly tested for FODMAPs yet…so I discourage its use during the elimination phase. Also, cocoa has been tested to be high in FODMAPs…small amounts such as 1 teaspoon may be tolerated but again, it should be limited or avoided during the strict elimination phase.

Hey Cory! YOU ARE the straw winner….thanks for your inspirations!!

So glad you find the blog inspirational Alex! Would try to smoothie with a rice or coconut milk….we don’t know about Almond milk yet!!
