The Best Low FODMAP Recipes | Feed Me Phoebe (2024)

For a more up-to-date and complete collection of healthy low FODMAP diet recipes, grab your copy of SIBO Made Simple–it has over 90 low FODMAP recipes that are also anti-inflammatory, with modifications for low histamine, yeast and candida-friendly and vegetarian.

When I first put together this round-up of the best low FODMAP recipes in 2016, I did so because of popular demand.


I hadn’t yet had the necessity to omit this complex system of carbohydrates, and frankly, I thought the prospect sounded pretty miserable.

As always, the best way to tempt the universe is to tell the powers that be that you will not be signing up for a particular trail up Health Mountain. And sure enough, flash forward to earlier this year when I was diagnosed with SIBO and told that my best shot of eradicating this bacteria from my life was to take on a low FODMAP diet, start digestive enzymes for IBS, and attempt to heal my gut.

I’ve learned so much about cooking for a low FODMAP diet since then, which I wrote about in this post. And as of recently, I officially have my very own cookbook with over 90+ low FODMAP recipes and 12 weeks worth of batch cooking meal plans!

The laundry list of items to remove during a low FODMAP elimination diet on the surface makes as little sense as a Rihanna-Paul McCartney collaboration, and I assumed it would also be ten times less awesome. To my surprise though, once I got the hang of it, my meals were no less delicious at home. And this list of recipes for condiments, snacks, easy dinners, rice and grains that I already had in my back pocket, thanks to all your requests, proved to be an invaluable resource.

Many of the dishes below are not completely FODMAP-free. After all, for the rest of us omnivores, garlic and onion are pretty much always VIP’s at the party. But I’ve included notes on what to sub. And I think you’ll find these flavor combinations to be a breath of fresh air.
