In reply to michaela. I do not believe Monk fruit has been tested.

I’m looking for a low FODMAP margarita mix or recipe to make my own. Any suggestions? Two potential ones I have come across are Powell & Mahoney Cocktail mixer and Master of Mixes Mixer Lite.

In reply to Terri. Work with a registered dietitian that practices evidenced based care, Terri. And a gastroenterologist that can help guide you too!

Hi. I’ve looked at these FODMAPs before, but have some questions. What if you have IBS, severely lactose intolerant, caffeine intolerant, history of an ulcer, have to stay away from MSG, all Artificial sweeteners, BHT, BHA, milk protein intolerant, told not to eat anything with seeds, nuts, tty to stay away from white bread, white rice, white potatoes…sweet potatoes hurt me….so does lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, some beans, etc. I’m at a complete loss! Need help! Everything hurts my stomach! 🙁

I just want to thank you for your wonderful website; the information and recipes here are a great resource!
I do not have Celiac, but suffered permanent damage to my entire digestive system from radiation treatments I received to treat colon cancer (10/07).
Even though I take medication to prevent painful spasms from the severe, chronic colitis I must deal with, I was still having a terrible time with gas, etc. each time I ate, so I, literally, couldn’t eat anything if I wanted to go out!
Thankfully, when my (adult) daughter was sent to a Dietician for IBS issues, she received the FODMAP diet, and told me about it.
I do not seem to have an issue with gluten, but the rest of the diet has really changed my life! I can now eat any time, regardless of my schedule, and even attend evening events, if I am really careful. I still can’t work, and do spend hours most nights dealing with my damaged system, but my quality of life has improved immensely, and your site is a terrific resource for recipes and up-to- date information.

Hi Kate,
I wanted to thank you for all the information you have on your web-site about the Low Fodmap Diet. The first time I went shopping it took me almost 2 hrs, I got into the car with only a few things, and just started crying. Everything seemed to have wheat, onion and garlic in it. I am 60 years old and my whole life changed in one day. In late September I was in the hospital with a “pancreatitis attack.” After 2 months of pain, lots of tests that showed everything was fine (happy about that), but still lost 37 pounds in 2 1/2 months as everything I ate went right through me. I was feeling desperate when the test all came back negative, but I knew something was wrong with me. My Breathe Hydrogen test was o.K. but my gastroenterology doctor thought the Low Fodmap Diet would be good for me. I have been on it for three weeks and already feel so much better! So I want to thank you for your website; it has helped me so much!

In reply to Lisa. The app is updated fairly regularly considering the amount of work it takes to analyze food and then translate the info into the app. Not sure if spaghetti squash is considered a winter squash. Paddy Pan --I believe is a summer squash.

According to the Monash U app, 1c of cooked sphaghetti squash is low fodmap… but not sure if that’s considered a winter squash!!? 😉 Based on a picture the app has under “squash” Paddy Pan is also low fodmap – no amount restrictions. That said…don’t know – is the app updated consistently? Thanks!
