Hello Stephen,
No problem for nutritional yeast and coconut oil. You can eat up to 125 g of coconut yoghurt. You should avoid hummus and can eat only 3 teaspoons (20 g) of tahini paste.

Thank you for this post! Much of what you wrote about I have long discovered over the course of my 30 years suffering intestinal problems. I particularly was enlightened with the canned beans/lentils. My Tuscan husband (we live near Florence) loves chickpeas and cannellini beans. I usually soaked the dry because 1. they don’t have preservatives and unnecessary salt 2. because they are very inexpensive!! I wish I could find out more about cannellini beans – if they hit the lower FODMAP or not. Thanks again!!!!

Thank you for your very helpful article. My hospital has advised me to follow a low-wind diet in preparation for a course of radiotherapy to the prostate bed, to help keep bowel and bladder away from the radiotherapy site. They said it is similar to a low FODMAP diet. They’ve given me a list of foods to avoid and permitted alternatives, but it doesn’t include everything I eat. I will ask the hospital about them at my next appointment. But could you kindly me your opinion on:
1. Humous. Are the processed chickpeas in humous high FODMAP?
2. Coconut oil and coconut yoghurt
3. Nutritional yeast
4. Tahini
Thank you.

In reply to Raka.

Hello Raka,
If you complete the reintroduction phase you are going to find out which FODMAP families you can tolerate and which ones you cannot. You are also going to learn your thresholds. Please note that with time your tolerance may change. Hence in future you may be able to eat again some high FODMAP with no problem.

Hi, I’m curious about the reintroduction phase. Since IBS is not curable, there’s no way I can ever eat high FODMAP all the time. I do eat high FODMAP foods but I have to limit them (wheat especially) otherwise my intestines start screaming.

Hi, unfortunately that’s not a good idea, since FODMAPs are water-soluble and will leach into your broth. I invite you to try this low-FODMAP recipe https://www.soscuisine.com/recipe/allergen-free-vegetable-broth

Hi, I’m wondering if I could flavour a broth with onion and garlic and remove the vegetables and still have a low fodmap recipe? Or are they water soluble? I’ve seen people do this to flavour oils.

Please note that it is not advisable to continue to eat lo-FODMAP for more than 6 weeks and try to start the reintroduction as soon as possible. We can help you with our VIP Dietitian service.

Hi
I have recently been following a low FODMAP diet for typical IBS symptoms and it is much better.
I find this is fine when at home but struggling to work out how to manage when away.
I am determined this is not going to stop me travelling am planning a 5 week trip to Chile and Argentina where I am going to have less flexibility on food.
Do you have any advice on short term hacks for travelling including enzymes and best medication if needed. I have been looking at FODZYME and mebeverine
Thanks
