These days, it’s not uncommon for people to suffer from gastrointestinal disorders. Perhaps you, a loved one, or a good friend is dealing with various kinds of digestive woes. It’s never fun to seemingly always feel bloated and gassy.
One of the best ways to alleviate digestive issues is to make certain dietary changes. A low-FODMAP eating plan that eliminates certain types of carbohydrates that can cause digestive problems (see sidebar) can be beneficial for reducing, or even eradicating, symptoms.
Getting used to low-FODMAP cooking can take some time, though, as it restricts many common foods. The good news is that there are still plenty of ways to use permitted foods to create a meal that goes big on flavour while being gentle on the tummy. Eating for gut health doesn’t have to mean sacrificing taste and nutrition.
If you’re preparing a feast for family or friends who are trying to get a grip on their digestive health, or perhaps you’re the one who needs to eat well while forgoing some of your favourite foods, these recipes will help you create a low-FODMAP menu that’s easy on digestion, satisfying, and in good taste!
