Yay Katherine…the recipes are super yummy!! That is a very good question. Maybe one of the blog followers can share an idea! I have had clients make their own coconut yogurt…but I have not tried this myself. Let me think on that one….I am in Portland Oregon with some top FODMAP colleagues so will get some ideas! Stay tuned!

I don’t tolerate dairy of any kind, and was wondering if you had any recommendations for substitutes for Greek yogurt in the smoothies or in other recipes. I know that the coconut milk yogurt in stores has chicory root.

Thanks!!

Not sure Angela….but it makes me wonder if perhaps you have fungal(yeast) overgrowth. Would discuss with your gastroenterologist. Perhaps they can do a yeast culture of your stool. Yeast love sugar and perhaps you have developed an imbalance of them in your intestines and it’s impacting you systemically.

Hi Melissa, Glad you stopped by my blog! The low FODMAP diet is a low lactose diet–not dairy free. Cheeses such as brie, camembert, feta, cheddar, parmesan, Swiss are all low enough in lactose to be included. Lactose free cow’s milk and lactose free yogurt are okay too. Take your time learning about the diet. There are many conflicting low FODMAP diet lists online (some have old data) the diet is evolving and food testing for FODMAP content takes time–so the low FODMAP diet will continue to morph and change as we learn more about food composition. That being said, I have had excellent results education my clients with the info I have here! Just remember to stick with sites with up to date info. IBSfree.net is another up to date site for you to learn more!

Agreed! the 21 Day Tummy is geared toward the reader that has common GI issues and weight to lose–not SEVERE symptoms–it is very careful to let the reader know that FODMAPs are innately healthy foods –the low FODMAP diet is a learning diet that helps eliminate common GI triggers but also walks the reader through testing which foods might be bothering them. As with any health condition–it’s imperative to work with a health care provider to guide you and ensure that you are being monitored for a more serious condition! No book is a substitute for good health care!

Thank you Kate! I am very thankful for your help. Have a great day!

Hi Mary, Yes, all the recipes have been modified in FODMAPs–and are FODMAP friendly–the smoothie recipe includes Greek yogurt but lactose free yogurt can be substituted for those with very low tolerance to lactose. Greek yogurt has far less lactose than conventional yogurt though-and is tolerated by many on the low FODMAP diet.
