I have found the link for this, but it is a download. If you go to http://www.med.monash.edu.au/ & put slippery elm in the search box on the site, the first link it brings up is called ‘Collated Projects for 2013..’ Click on that link to download it. On page 4 it says ‘We recently found that slippery elm bark and sterculia (normafibe) are low in FODMAP and high in fibre (70% DF); moreover these fibres are not rapidly fermented.’ (or just search the document for slippery elm.)

Babaganuj is my fav, so I am substituting burnt eggplant in the place of the chickpeas. Thank you for working the recipe out for me with the substitutions.
The smokiness left behind after peeling the eggplant is heavenly.

Thanks so much for your quick response kate! I have to be honest I am finding the elimination phase as a vegan near impossible without losing weight and energy levels. It’s also so limiting. I am struggling to understand various things about the diet eg if half a cup of canned chickpeas is somewhat ok then why isn’t a small amount of hummus?

If sea sesame seeds are ok, why not tahini?

If the fodmap diet isn’t meant to be a long term solution, then why do it at all? If these foods are poorly digested by all of us then shouldn’t we avoid them to prevent food from being undigested?

In reply to S.

S, no clue on barley grass, maca or Brazil nuts. Some kefir should be okay such as some of the lifeway varieties that are noted to be very low lactose. Not sure about coconut kefir–I haven’t explored them. In some studies kamut is well tolerated in people that have IBS–but Monash has it as a source of FODMAPs–at least in the sourdough kamut bread they tested–per slice it was a source of fructans/GOS and also had excess fructose–perhaps the grain alone would be different.

In reply to Paula. Paula, According to the Monash Researcher tahini is a source of fructans in a portion greater than 1 tablespoon. So, yes, if you use a drizzle you are okay.

Hi kate just wondering if sprouted kamut bread, barley grass, maca, and brazil nuts are considered low FODMAP? Can’t find this info anywhere! Also, what about keifer (milk or coconut) ?

According to these websites, tahini is FODMAP friendly.

In reply to suzanne. The soy milk made with soy bean isolate vs. whole soybean would likely be lower in FODMAPs.
