Low-FODMAP Recipes and IBS-Friendly Meal Ideas
Cooking for IBS is easier than it sounds once you understand FODMAP principles. This section will cover recipe ideas and meal patterns designed around the low-FODMAP approach — with practical notes on ingredient swaps, portion sizes, and how to adapt common meals without giving up flavour or variety.
A note on "IBS-friendly" recipes:
Low-FODMAP recipes reduce the most common IBS triggers for most people — but they're not a guarantee, because individual tolerances vary. If you're in the reintroduction phase of the low-FODMAP protocol, use GutDiaries to track how specific recipes affect your symptoms as you test each food group back in.
Recipes coming soon
We're building out a collection of low-FODMAP recipes — covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and baking — each with FODMAP notes, safe serving sizes, and easy substitution options. We're focusing on recipes that are practical for everyday cooking, not just elimination-phase survival food. In the meantime, GutDiaries already helps you log meals and learn which specific foods your gut tolerates.
Cooking principles this section will focus on
- → Low-FODMAP foundations — base recipes that work during the elimination phase
- → Garlic and onion flavour without the FODMAPs — garlic-infused oil and spring onion greens
- → Safe starchy bases — white rice, oats (capped portions), sourdough, and rice pasta
- → Reintroduction-phase adaptations — how to modify recipes as you test foods back in
- → Eating out with IBS — practical strategies for restaurants and social eating
