HI Kristin, I hope you find the 21 Day Tummy book helpful. It has so much great info and the diet plan is healthy! Just delete chives or garlic infused oil! Sub in straight olive oil–perhaps. A good sub for bell peppers can be zucchini or summer squash–but obviously–they might not work for some of the recipes. You might try mixing and matching some of the recipes that sound more suitable for your family’s taste.

I’ve been following the 21-day Tummy Diet book, and I’m heading back into phase 2, and adding in the exercises. I was off exercise for a while because of a back injury, but I’ve been cleared to start! My question is this: I am feeding a family, and my husband and kids don’t love all the bell peppers, scallions and chives that are suggested in the recipes (he, specifically, never has liked onion, garlic or peppers, even before this adventure). Do you have a suggestion for alternatives?

With apologies for being so very tiresome – I’ve another, fairly silly & random, question: lately I’ve been trying to find some information on mulberries, without much luck – although they seem to be OK, as to fructose/ glucose ratio, do you happen to know how they they fare, when analysed for Polyols & Fructans? All very best wishes, Jennifer.

There are plenty of resources on the blog to help you get started on the low FODMAP diet. Check out the basics tab on my blog home page.

I have a question for you- I know hard cheeses are low fodmap, but what about reduced-fat hard cheeses like reduced-fat cheddar or 2% Monterey jack? Thank you!

April

Wonder if you can give me an alternative way to obtain the information.

I think the thing that still confuses me a bit regarding the monash app and portion sizes is whether a larger portion of a green light food is allowed if it doesn’t have a disclaimer. For instance, blueberries are a green light food, but it is specifically stated that larger servings (> 40g) may not be tolerated. Strawberries also have a green light, but it does not say anything like servings >10 strawberries may not be tolerated. If not stated, would the food be considered tolerable for most people despite portion?

I always ate a ton of veggies at each meal. It seems a little difficult, and not optimal, to only eat 1/2 cup eggplant, 2 Brussel sprouts, or 1/2 cup zucchini only. Can we really get all our phytonutrients, micronutrients, and antioxidants this way? Thanks for the help!!:)

I was delighted when two friends told me their doctors told them about the FODMAP diet. In both cases, they were just told to avoid all the FODMAP foods! I was disappointed in hearing this. When I told them more about the diet, they both said that their doctors probably knew best. Are you hearing of lots of cases like this? Thanks!
