Martha, most salad dressings have onion and garlic–sometimes hidden in the ingredient list noted as :natural flavorings. So try to make your own. I have many listed on this site. Many mayos are okay–avoid those w/ high fructose corn syrup.

What salad dressings are the best to use and which ones should be avoided.

I’m confused by the status of both of those things as they come in a variety of forms, not all of which are bad… I think? So much like the onion, I would love some clarity on those two items.

Thanks Nancy! I agree, presentation makes everything a bit more fun and enticing!

Resistant starch is fermentable –but it is not a FODMAP. FODMAPs are short chain (small) carbs–and starches have longer carb chains Can it cause symptoms–yes. I don’t think it needs to be completely eliminated. It’s important to provide some substrate for our gut bacteria–we don’t want to starve them all.

Replacements for Soda

Low sugar foods (some of the lactose free yogurt has a lot of sugar)

GMO free items. I’m also surprised they put aspartame as a recommended sugar on the list… maybe this is something you could address as the newer studies on aspartame are being released.

Quick meals (20 minutes or less)

Alcohol… totally eliminate or are there better drinks (for your tummy) to have on occasion.

Just love your ideas and photography. You make everything look delish! I’m not a water lover so I’m really excited to try this out (although I’ll have to go out and find myself a glass pitcher and find myself some cute straws!!). Presentation is everything!

I find myself packing the same cheese sandwich on gluten-free bread day after day. Thank you so much for the extensive and trustworthy information on your blog; it’s been a lifesaver!
