Following a low FODMAP diet can be daunting enough on your own and with a fussy family to feed it may seem almost impossible. Never fear – this handful of recipes are all easy variations on classic dishes that’ll leave everyone satisfied and will be comfortingly familiar to any picky little (or big!) ones.
Fresh Topped Pizza
This low FODMAP pizza recipe is the quickest and easiest we’ve seen yet! Use avocado, rocket and cherry tomatoes for fresh spring flavours or swap out the toppings with your favourite seasonal low FODMAP veg. You could even have a pizza party and each make your own.
Spaghetti Bolognese
Spaghetti Bolognese is perhaps the ultimate comfort food, but a traditional Italian version contains a lot of high FODMAP ingredients. Luckily, this recipe offers a low FODMAP alternative with all the heartiness of the classic dish itself!
Sweet and Sour Chicken
A favourite Chinese takeaway dish that can be easily replicated in your kitchen and made suitable for a low FODMAP diet. Say goodbye to additives, but certainly not to flavour!
