Hello Kate –
I have a question not related to this post…
Are you familiar with “gomacro” protein bars? My teenage daughter has been following the low FODMAP diet for some time and consuming one of these bars regularly, which we have just realized contains coconut sugar (2.11 grams per bar), as well as pea protein (have not confirmed amount).

Since coconut is o.k., we had (wrongly) assumed that coconut sugar was o.k. Also, were thinking that pea protein (since not a carbohydrate) would be alright.

Now wondering about whether her consumption of these 2 ingredients has completely negated her experience so far on the low FODMAP diet. I realize that reactions to ingredients are very individual, but if you could provide any input on this situation, it would be much appreciated. We just don’t have a sense of whether a small amount of these ingredients is still likely to be problematic.

Thank you very much.
Lola

I like water with a lemon wedge in a mason jar with screw top lid for travel. I also like to do a wine spritzer with a few ounces of wine, a splash of sparkling flavored water and a few frozen berries to keep it cool. Sometimes I will blend 1 part strong coffee with 1 part lactose free milk in the blender with 1/4 teaspoon each cinnamon and ginger and a bit of stevia for a latte. 🙂

Now for my fave Starbucks beverage – Decaf Sugar Free Cinnamon Dolce Latte with Coconut Milk. Although the coconut milk that is used is from a carton, not the canned variety as you recommend, I seem to tolerate it pretty well. Note that I get a “tall”, and not the “grande” or “venti” size, just to be on the safe side.

When in doubt, a good ol’ decaf Café Americano (black) works pretty well, too.
