Eating for your gut shouldn’t be restrictive; it should be abundant.

These foolproof healthful recipes were developed with the guidance of nutritionist and dietitian Alicia A. Romano. This book gives you an in-depth education on the evolving science of gut health, how to eat for it, and The Low FODMAP Diet. Dig in.

What is the Low-FODMAP Diet?

This medically tailored diet is highly researched in the realm of IBS. The Low FODMAP Diet consists of eliminating commonly bothersome fermentable carbohydrates for a spell, with a structured reintroduction of different types. The end goal: symptom reduction and the most liberal diet possible. A large portion of the recipes in this book satisfy the requirements of the complete elimination phase of this diet to support you if you need it—while still getting adequate fiber.

So Good (for You) Recipes

Beef and Oat Berry Soup

Low-FODMAP and gluten-free oat berries have substance, chew, a whole lot of fiber, and a cooking time that works for a simmered soup to boot. Enhancing the broth with aromatics sautéed in garlic oil, porcini mushrooms, tomato paste, and soy sauce took our irritant-free soup to the next level.

Roasted Chicken Breasts with Kabocha Squash and Kale

For this hearty and fiber-packed one-pan chicken dish, we pair earthy kale with squash. We chose kabocha over butternut, delicata, or sweet potatoes; the squash that looks like a squat pumpkin is just as sweet as others but, unlike them, is completely free of FODMAPs.

Peanut Noodle Bowls with Edamame and Cabbage

Tender-chewy brown rice noodle dishes are a comforting treat—especially for those with limited noodle options—as they are naturally gluten-free and low FODMAP. The bowl boasts a colorful medley of savory, tangy, and crunchy vegetables; curry powder in the peanut sauce adds warmth.

Lentil Salad with Pomegranate and Walnuts

If you’re used to dried lentils, take note: Through the canning process, lentils are the only legumes that lose their fermentable carbohydrates, so they’re low FODMAP (and high in fiber). This impressive side pairs the firm yet creamy canned legume with a tart vinaigrette, pomegranate seeds, crunchy walnuts, and radishes.
