Low-FODMAP

There are many, many lists of what is and isn't a low-FODMAP food to be found on the interwebs. This is a list, amalgamating those I've found and what I know from own research on the topic.  You will notice, that some of the foods on this list, I am still eating, that is purely because I have already eliminated them as IBS triggers.

High-FODMAP foods (those I will be avoiding):

  • Dairy
    • Cows milk
    • All forms of cheese (Now, this is where it gets confusing, because some say that aged cheese, such as extra mature cheddar counts as a low-FODMAP food, reading some of the journals, I'm not sure I would agree. But that's a scientific differing of opinion, so I'm just leaving them out altogether)
    • Yogurt
    • Ice cream
  • Fruit - this is generally those high in fructose
    • Apples
    • Pears
    • Things with a stone - peaches, cherries, apricots, mango
    • Also dried fruit - prunes, raisins
    • Most fruit juices - orange, pineapple, apple
  • Vegetables
    • Mushrooms
    • Onions
    • Sweet corn
    • Tomatoes
    • Asparagus
    • Beetroot
    • Broccoli
    • Cauliflower
  • Wheat
    • Breads
    • Cereals
    • Pasta
  • Beans
    • Kidney beans
    • Black eyed beans
    • Baked beans
    • Edamame
    • Hummus
    • Soya
  • Garlic
Looking down that list, there is a part of me that goes "But what can I eat?!" and the truth is...LOTS!

Here's hoping I can avoid these foods, and basically eat everything else :D
