  1. This recipe is not LOW FODMAP. According to the Monash University study, celery is considered low FODMAP when only 2 inches of 1 stalk is consumed. A quarter cup is a lot, i would be too scared to get a second helping of this dish. Also broccoli should be only a quarter cup to be low FODMAP, half a cup is way to much. It seems to me that the key to this recipe is to fill up on large amounts of rice because your risking a lot with some of the veggies.

    1. Dear Anonymous. You are NOT reading the recipe right. It says it serves 4. So its saying that you would be eating 1/16 cup of celery not 1/4! Its also saying you would be eating 1/8 of a cup of broccoli. So the recipe is low-FODMAP! I love Dr. Pauls’ recipes. She has changed my life. I saw her at a conference a few years and she is an expert on FODMAPS.

      1. Caroline,
        Lovely to hear from you and we are absolutely touched by your feedback! Stay in touch 🙂

    2. Thanks for your feedback Anonymous,
      We are glad to see you are aware that portion sizes matter in the low-FODMAP diet. So, more than one portion can definitely result in a high-FODMAP serving. That is why the top of this recipe specifically states the recipe serves 4 (consume 1/4 of the dish per low-FODMAP serving).
      To clarify further, Monash tells us 10 grams of celery and 3/4 cup (75 grams) of broccoli heads are one low-FODMAP serving. To help others, we did add some information about celery to this recipe.
      Thank you for reaching out!
