10+ FODMAP Friendly Brands & Products
Do you find yourself exhausted looking at the ingredient list in the grocery store? Again and again, looking for food options that won't trigger your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms? Look no further! Below is a list of over 10 food brands that offer delicious products low in FODMAPs. These brands have either recognized the needs of individuals with IBS or simply happened to make a product low in FODMAPs. Either way, these products offer a range of flavorful and safe choices to make your low FODMAP journey easy and enjoyable.
Fody is a fantastic brand that offers solely low FODMAP products with a range of sauces, marinades, condiments, dressings, salsas, seasonings, snack bars, and chips. They are also certified by Monash University, the founders of the low FODMAP diet to help those with IBS!
The widely popular brand Prego has a special low FODMAP pasta sauce that doesn’t include garlic and onions. The great thing about this product is it can be found in almost any standard grocery store. No more avoiding pasta!!
What better to pair with pasta sauce than the pasta itself? Jovial is a great and simple brand that includes just brown rice flour and water (yes, that’s it!) in this delicious pasta making it low-FODMAP friendly.
Kellogg’s has 7 Monash University-certified cereals. All are easy to find and make a great quick breakfast that won’t cause you any gut distress!
Garlic is an ingredient that is just plain hard to live without for a lot of us and unfortunately, it’s a very high FODMAP. These garlic-infused oils can be the answer to adding that flavor back to your recipes!
Tip: When you’re in the grocery store, as long as it says garlic-infused oil, you don’t see any pieces of garlic within the oil, and you check the nutrition facts and see zero carbohydrates, you’re in the clear.
Craving something sweet? BelliWelli is a yummy Monash University-certified brand that offers a variety of delicious snack bars to satisfy that sweet tooth. The best part is it includes probiotics which help imporve your gut bacteria making a healthy and happy gut microbiome!
The brand Schar has an array of bread products you can trust with the Monash University certified label. This particular product is a good source of fiber as well! If you have the Monash University FODMAP app, be sure to take a look at each product serving size.
Chips are a must in my household! Brands like Fody, previously mentioned, have their own low FODMAP chips, but there are a good handful of brands you might easily recognize that are naturally low in FODMAPs like these!
Tip: Look for the “classic” or “original” flavors, these tend to be low in FODMAPs when looking at chip brands.
A big question that comes up often is, “Will drinking alcohol cause an IBS flare-up? While this can vary from person to person as alcohol can cause GI upset for a lot of the general population, gin, vodka, whiskey, wine, and beer (opt for gluten-free) are considered low FODMAP. You’ll want to avoid rum, and ciders and always be cautious with mixers as these often contain high FODMAPs.
Gourmend is yet another Monash University-certified brand bringing you broths and seasoning to set yourself at ease when making some of your favorite recipes.
While there are still so many brands and products that you can feel good eating with IBS, these are just a few delicious choices to help you out on your next grocery trip! Happy shopping!
