Dr. Rachel’s Tips for the Low-FODMAP Vegan, Low-FODMAP Vegan Food Lists & Low-FODMAP Vegan Stock Recipe

Adapting to a low-FODMAP, IBS-friendly diet while vegan or vegetarian may sound next to impossible at first. But luckily, many of the choices that you enjoyed before will be allowed during the elimination phase. Numerous fruits, vegetables, and vegan proteins are fine to consume on the low-FODMAP diet and can provide great sources of nutrients. Kale, for one, is amazing: 1 cup contains 3 g protein, 2.6 g fiber and only 33 calories!
