Hi Kristi! Not sure about caraway seeds–have not seen data on them. And vegetable oils should be okay–as they are not a source of carbs–FODMAPs are carbohydrates.

thanks for all the great info here, will make this much easier
Kristi

Glad you stopped by my blog, Katie. If it makes you feel any better–I am FODMAP sensitive–and Guinness is my favorite–and most tolerated beers. So…one step at a time–you will identify what you can and can not handle.

I truly appreciate your expertise on FODMAPs. I’m so glad to be digging into your blog tonight, too. While St. Patrick’s Day is nearly over I’ll be making this recipe as soon as I can get to Whole Foods for the lactose free sour cream. This year St. Paddy’s Day felt so different without a Guinness, corned beef and soda bread. Oh well, this healing journey is worth all the sacrifices.
Thanks again,
Katie

Hello Ms. Gena! Glad you stopped by the blog! It might be a good idea to discuss w/ your GI doctor the possibility of doing a work up for pelvic floor dysfunction–especially if your constipation was exacerbated after childbirth. Muscles and nerves can experience trauma from the child birth–and this can lead to issues w/ constipation for some. Typical treatment is pelvic floor physical therapy–which can be quite helpful! There are some cookie recipes–search under the FODMAP recipe tab!

I am so excited to win the sample Balanced Box for my son!! Thank you so much! (Hopefully you received my e-mail back with mailing info.).
Thanks so much for this recipe!! Finally I can make an Irish soda bread that my son can have!!!! He is so excited to share this with our Irish family! Your blog helps us so much!
As for ideas for upcoming posts…I also would love to read more about guar gum/xantham gum/carob bean etc. As possible gut irritants.
I am also really looking for ideas on how to encourage children on this diet to eat their greens. While its easy to use gluten free bread, I need ideas on getting whole food fibers in the diet for nutritional punch.
Thanks again for all you do!
Michelle

I just found your blog through the Yahoo posting about FODMAP. How long has this diet been around? My husband took to the gluten free and seed/nut free diet a few years ago due to diverticulitis. I am now in search of something for my constipation issue which worsened after having given child birth. I know I should increase my physical activity from moderate walks at work to light jogging, but my lower back is in constant pain. This is why I am looking to address the food in my diet and find out what will assist me and what is causing my issues. From the little I just read about FODMAP it looks like a good “foodmap” to follow. By the way, I love muffins! Thank-you! Would you share a yummy gluten-free chocolate chip cookie? Hubby has bought the GF prepackaged kind to bake, but homemade is always better and less expensive. I will search online for a good FODMAP cookbook.

Thanks again for another delicious recipe! I made these last night and they are delish! Of course they were best right out of the oven! I would love to see you discuss some simplified meals that incorporate protein and fiber that are low FODMap, gluten free, dairy free and egg free. I find it hard to make sure I am eating enough protein since I can’t eat eggs directly (they bother my stomach) as well as fiber (but too much at once because then I bloat!). Thank you again for all your useful information!

But its nice to balance it with some recipes although I am rarely as interested in that.
Maybe some more tips on how to adapt recipes. I tried to make an oat bread today using oatmeal as the recipe suggests and oat flour to substitute for the regular wheat flour. I dont know if I killed my yeast or whether the oat flour is not a good substitute. The bread turned out really dense and didnt rise much. Any suggestions re using oat flour? I DO have a good gluten free flour blend but its not so great for bread. I thought the oat flour might have more bonding power.
And also took a multivitamin today and felt yucky for about three hours afterwards. MY stomach muscles just seemed to tighten up and I had a wierd fuzzy headache. I looked it up and saw that upset stomach and headache can be side effects of vitamins.
I am wondering if you have any suggestions about easily tolerated vitamins for IBS people.
I dont like taking pills of any kind but I sometimes wonder if being on this altered diet is limiting my intake of certain vitamins or other micro-nutrients. Which ones do you worry about with people on the low FODMAP diet?
And can you talk more about your thoughts that people will get off their low FODMAP diet someday. I dont see any signs of getting off it yet.
I am still trying to figure out what I can have and what causes problems. It varies from time to time I think or is it that I have inadvertantly eaten something with garlic powder in it. or some reactions come later on and are not so immediate??

and Speaking of garlic – when a product like canned tomatoes says it contains spices – is garlic or onion powder allowed to be listed as a non descript spice?

Wow I didnt know I had all that to say but I will close with the fact that I find your blog informative and comforting as well. Its nice to know someone out there is keeping us company as we learn about our diets and our health! thanks Kate for your blog – Happy 4th birthday!

Please keep up your efforts to spread the word and educate us all on the benefits of discovering and living with the FODMAP way of life. There is an article on In the April issue of the Dr. Oz magazine on “Your Complete Guide to Going No. 2”. I didn’t see any reference to FODMAP as a way to address issues. I am very fortunate to have my medical doctor. He is the one who steered me toward FODMAP and your blog has been amazing for continued support.

I travel all the time for work. Your portable snacks are great. I would like to see an article to help with eating out. I get so tired of chicken in a salad as a safe meal.
