I haven’t. I’m going to take it out entirely and see what happens. Thanks for your suggestions!

Have you had corn ruled out as an allergy? I have had a few patients with corn allergies. Might be that there are other ingredients in the corn products–many add wheat these days. I also have learned that my patients sometimes overeat the corn chips–and the fat content of the corn chips in large quantity are the culprit.

I’m doing the low FODMAP elimination diet with a dietitian, but am having occasional symptoms that I think are tied to corn. What do you know about corn products (e.g. corn tortillas, corn chips)? They are supposed to be low FODMAP, but my stomach is sometimes upset when I eat them (even checking ingredients lists for everything else). Is there something else going on?

Thanks!

I would think cashew ice cream would be high fodmap–but not sure that it has been tested! As for sourdough bread, I would call different local bakeries or manufacturers to learn how their sourdough bread is made–it should be slow leavened- using active sourdough cultures and NO yeast. I find many of my clients can tolerate Iggy’s breads–the country loaf and Francese loaf –which are slow leavened–these are available at Whole Foods–though not sure which stores–might be regional –so call first. Some of my clients have also tried Nashoba bakery sourdough w/ good tolerance too. Its individual–so perhaps trial small amounts to test your tolerance.

I am on a low fodmap diet and follow it carefully. I know that cashews are a high fodmap food but an wondering if non dairy icecream made with cashew milk might be ok. Also I would greatly appreciate knowing which sour dough breads might be acceptable.

Thank you,
