That being said, it is not always easy to find great tasting, low-FODMAP options for Passover. Luckily- you need look no further than this list below for the Passover Seder and beyond!

Dr. Rachel’s Low-FODMAP Passover Recipes Cookbook; Gluten-free, IBS-friendly
Low-FODMAP Passover Seder Plate and Ceremonial Foods
- Try my low-FODMAP Charoset recipe
- White horseradish is low-FODMAP (avoid beet horseradish)
- Parsley is low-FODMAP (avoid celery)
- Eggs are low-FODMAP
- Salt water is low-FODMAP
- Manischewitz gluten-free matzo contains low-FODMAP ingredients (tapioca starch, water, eggs, potato starch, potatoes, palm oil, sugar, salt). Other gluten-free matzos often contain honey.
- However, this matzo is not suitable for the Seder ceremony
- Small amounts of standard matzo may be consumed depending on your tolerance
- Wine: Red wine is low-FODMAP, in one glass serving. Suggest consume 1 ounce size glasses for each of the 4 cups of wine to minimize overconsumption (I can’t deny that there is something about Manischewitz Concord wine that makes me nostalgic every year! Passover wouldn’t be the same without it)
Low-FODMAP Passover Salads and Starters
- low-FODMAP Gefilte Fish
- low-FODMAP Classic Tossed Salad with Italian Vinaigrette (avoid sunflower seed topping if Ashkenazi observant)
- low-FODMAP Matzo Ball Soup and Chicken Broth
- low-FODMAP Sweet Nuts (use pecans, walnuts, Brazil nuts and almonds, avoid legumes like peanuts and seeds)
