Low FODMAP Diet
The Low FODMAP Diet is a nutritional approach that can reduce symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, and other digestive disorders.
The diet eliminates certain carbohydrates, called FODMAPs, that are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and can cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea and constipation.
By following the low-FODMAP diet guidelines and avoiding high-FODMAP foods, people with IBS may be able to find relief from their uncomfortable symptoms.

2. Frittata with Bacon, Spinach, and Basil
I was fairly new to the frittata scene until I came across this recipe from rachelpaulsfood.com. Now, I am hooked!
Egg dishes like frittatas are perfect for combining a bunch of your leftover FODMAP foods into one delicious dish. Plus, given all of the added protein with the eggs and bacon, it is a hardy enough meal to be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or even dinner.
I modify this recipe from Rachel Paul’s Foods slightly to remove some of the potentially reactive FODMAP foods. Feel free to adjust this recipe even more to your liking.
Ingredients:
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup coconut cream
- 4-6 pieces of bacon (cut into 1″ pieces)
- 1 cup chopped potato, pre-cooked (great for leftover baked potatoes)

- 1/2 cup baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
