Hi! this is the fodblog. It used to be a place for me to collect a bunch of fodmap recipes*. But obviously a ridiculous sense of personal self-worth means that I decided to wrap them up in a Jekyll template and post them on the internet.
If you don’t know what fodmap is, lucky you, you might still like some of the recipes but you won’t have to eat only them in order to stop your insides staging open revolt.



Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols. They are a collection of poorly absorbed simple and complex sugars that are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables and also in milk and wheat.

There are many resources starting to appear online that are very useful for determining what is and what is not fodmap friendly.

If you are anyhting like us it will be a learning experience of what is safe and what is not. It can be infuriatingly inconsistent, or at least seem that way. However, we have certainly found that the more we know about the important triggers the easier it is becoming to guess whether something will be one or not.

The fodmap recipes collected here are ones we’ve found to work, although it’s probably safe to say everyone’s triggers are a bit different. For example we’ve found that onion is actually not so bad (nonetheless we use onion substitutes in all recipes), although many may find it to be a huge problem. Often for baking and carbohydrates we can use gluten free recipes too, see our post on fodmap and gluten free. So, if you see recipes with something that you think is a trigger, then it’s safe to say you should heed your intuition. You’ll probably be right!


*Not all of these recipes are Fodmap friendly. The necessity for making fodmap recipies has gone (turns out IBS can recover just as mysteriously as it can arrive), but the ego (or maybe super-ego) that drove the making of the site in the first place has not. Now, if a recipe falls into what we think is Fodmap (in our experience) it will be tagged Fodmap, otherwise it comes with less than zero guarantee.
