New Low-FODMAP Updates from Monash University

When Monash University tests and analyzes new foods, I get a little excited.  OK like really excited.  I nerd out and start to think of all the new dishes or snacks I could create and I think of all the times FODMAP Life fans have asked me “is cider vinegar high in FODMAPs?”  Thankfully now we have a definite answer and you CAN have cider vinegar!  (see serving size listed below for apple cider vinegar with a few other new foods).  This is great because there are some really good recipes for drinks using apple cider vinegar that I find can help with IBS.

If you have not seen the updates yet on your app, you will soon.  In case you are new to my blog and new to the low-FODMAP diet, Monash University research on FODMAPs is your go-to when it comes to which foods are low or high in FODMAPs.  It’s the only source I use.  Why?  Because they actually test and analyze the foods.  When you purchase their app, you help to fund the research that allows all of us to enjoy a longer list of low-FODMAP foods!  

Here’s a link to the app: http://www.med.monash.edu.au/cecs/gastro/fodmap/iphone-app.html

Here’s a message from Monash on the new update:

“With our app’s new feature allowing your device to update automatically when we release new foods, it can be hard to keep up with what’s new when you’re not being alerted. So here are a few foods you’ll see pop up on your app in the next few days (if they haven’t already!). Keep an eye out for more fresh foods, certified food products, and country-specific foods in the next few weeks!”

Here are some updates I have seen on my phone so far (anything missing I will fill in as I get it):

Low-FODMAP UPDATES from Monash University

  • Apple cider vinegar – 2 tablespoons
  • Cumquats – up to 4 peeled or unpeeled
  • Guava – (ripe) 1 medium
  • Kaffir lime leaves – 3 leaves
  • Popcorn – (plain) up to 7 cups (1 packet)

Sage – I am still waiting for information

High-FODMAP

  • Agave syrup -we have always known it’s high-FODMAP but the update lets you know that both dark and light are high in FODMAPs

That’s it for now!
