A trip to the grocery store can often be a bummer when you're a vegan with IBS. It's not always easy to remember what is and isn't safe or what our particular triggers may be.

For rice, is only the basmati type safe? It is the only one listed. I know when I eat a lot of Jasmine rice my stomach gets upset so I am curious about the difference

At this time, only basmati, brown, and white rices are listed by Monash University as low in FODMAPs. Other types haven't yet been tested. I don't know what the difference would be with jasmine rice. Do you have any problems with basmati rice? If you're having trouble with all rice or certain types, you might want to check out my blog post about rice here: https://goo.gl/GgkqBi. It's possible that where and how the rice is grown is the source of the problem. You might want to try switching brands or using the cooking tips in the blog post.

Great thank you. I will check out the article. I usually eat Lundburg farms Organic Jasmine rice grown in California. I will try to note if there is a difference with other types, but I always buy organic types and usually always Lundburg. I am trying Lotus Foods organic jasmine mekong flower rice this month. It says it is grown in Thailand on the bag. I will see if there is a difference

Please let me know how it goes! I'm curious whether various brands (or rice grown in other countries) makes a difference for you. If jasmine rice remains problematic, try basmati to see if that agrees with you better.

Why are several of the high-FODMAP items (incl. avocado, mushrooms, etc.) included in this shopping list?

Hi, Nazanin. You'll notice on the shopping list either specific portion sizes (such as 1/8 avocado) or a specific type of produce for the items listed. That's because the low-FODMAP diet doesn't mean eliminating broad categories of foods when limited amounts have been tested by Monash to be in the low-FODMAP range.

That's because the low-FODMAP diet doesn't mean a sweeping elimination of broad categories of foods when limited amounts of certain kinds of foods have been tested by the scientists at Monash University to be in the low-FODMAP range.

Hi, I just bought your book and am wondering if you have developed a shopping list associated with your meal plan (Table 12). I would love it if you have one. Of course, I can compile one myself, but as an overwhelmed newbie, any streamlining helps! Hoping your book can help me get through this elimination phase that is so intimidating.
