Low-FODMAP Greens
Your gut flora would be happy if you ate more leafy green vegetables. Such leaves are packed with nutrients and are unlikely to result in fermentation of the gut.
How do you get leafy greens to your diet? If your gut can tolerate them raw, salad, green smoothies, and green juices can be added to the routine diet. Nevertheless, if you are like most people with IBS, you may find that your body is less prone to develop IBS symptoms if the greens are cooked. Sauteeing them with some garlic-infused olive oil is the easiest way to incorporate green veggies to your diet. Some great sources include;
- Bok choy
- Endive
- Collard greens
- Common Cabbage
- Kale
- Lettuce
- Swiss chard
- Radicchio
- Spinach, baby
