Why These Recipes Work

Portion-Aware

FODMAP tolerance can change with serving size. Each recipe is designed around the listed serving rather than simply labeling individual ingredients.

Flavor Without Onion & Garlic

Recipes use techniques such as garlic-infused oil, fresh herbs, chives and green onion tops where appropriate.

Food You'd Actually Make

These are normal breakfasts, dinners and comfort foods first — not bland substitutes built only around a dietary label.

A Quick Guide to Low-FODMAP Cooking

1

Low-FODMAP Phase

A temporary period using lower-FODMAP choices.

2

Reintroduction

Foods and FODMAP groups are systematically reintroduced to identify individual tolerance.

3

Personalization

The goal is a less restrictive long-term diet based on what the individual actually tolerates.

Serving Size Matters

Foods may have different FODMAP ratings at different quantities. The Low-FODMAP designation on Supper.recipes applies to the listed serving size.

How We Keep the Flavor

Without onion and garlic, we build flavor using:

Garlic-infused oil (no solids)Green parts of scallionsChivesFresh herbsGingerCitrusSpices

Recipes calling for green onion specify GREEN TOPS ONLY. Recipes using garlic-infused oil do not contain visible garlic solids.

What Does Low-FODMAP Mean?

FODMAPs are a group of fermentable carbohydrates found in many common foods. For some people, high-FODMAP foods can trigger digestive symptoms like bloating, gas and discomfort. The Low-FODMAP approach is a structured, three-phase process — restriction, reintroduction and personalization — designed to identify which specific FODMAPs an individual tolerates. It is not meant to be a permanent elimination diet.

Why Serving Size Matters

FODMAP tolerance is portion-dependent. A food that is well-tolerated at a small serving may cause symptoms at a larger one. Each Low-FODMAP recipe on Supper.recipes is designed around its listed serving size. When you scale a recipe, scale the number of servings proportionally rather than eating a double portion as a single serving.

Cooking Without Onion and Garlic

Onion and garlic are high in fructans, a type of FODMAP. In Low-FODMAP cooking, we replace them with flavorful alternatives: garlic-infused olive oil (which captures garlic flavor without the fructans, since fructans are not oil-soluble), the green tops of scallions or green onions, chives, fresh herbs, ginger, citrus and warming spices. These build real flavor without the ingredients most likely to trigger symptoms.

Is Low-FODMAP the Same as Gluten-Free?

No. Some wheat products contain fructans, which is why wheat is limited on a Low-FODMAP diet. But FODMAP restriction and gluten avoidance are not the same thing. Gluten is a protein; FODMAPs are carbohydrates. Not everyone following a Low-FODMAP diet needs to eat gluten-free, and not all gluten-free foods are Low-FODMAP.

Is Low-FODMAP Dairy-Free?

No. Lactose is the relevant FODMAP in many dairy foods. Some dairy products — like hard, aged cheeses and lactose-free milk — are lower in lactose and can fit within a Low-FODMAP approach depending on serving size and individual tolerance. Low-FODMAP is not the same as dairy-free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Low-FODMAP diet?
The Low-FODMAP approach temporarily restricts certain fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs) to identify which ones may trigger digestive symptoms, then systematically reintroduces them to build a personalized long-term diet.
Are Low-FODMAP recipes gluten-free?
No. Some wheat products contain fructans, but FODMAP restriction and gluten avoidance are not the same thing. Low-FODMAP is about fermentable carbohydrates, not gluten protein.
Are Low-FODMAP recipes dairy-free?
No. Lactose is the relevant FODMAP in many dairy foods, but some cheeses and lactose-free dairy products can fit depending on serving size and individual tolerance.
Why do serving sizes matter?
Foods may have different FODMAP ratings at different quantities. The Low-FODMAP designation on Supper.recipes applies to the listed serving size, not unlimited portions.
Can I use garlic-infused oil?
Yes. Commercial garlic-infused oil without visible garlic solids is a common Low-FODMAP way to capture garlic flavor, since the fructans in garlic are not oil-soluble.
Can I eat onion or garlic during the Low-FODMAP phase?
Onion bulbs and garlic cloves are generally avoided during the restriction phase. Green onion tops (green parts only) and chives are common alternatives.
Is Low-FODMAP meant to be permanent?
No. The elimination phase is a temporary step before reintroduction and personalization. The goal is a less restrictive long-term diet based on individual tolerance.
Do individual tolerances differ?
Yes. FODMAP tolerance is individual and can depend on serving size, food combinations, and personal sensitivity. A qualified dietitian can help with an individualized plan.
