Following a low FODMAP eating plan can often limit food options. This should not impact your enjoyment over the festive period. With endless parties, gatherings and ultimately Christmas day, it would be nice to have a list of “safe” foods that you know are not going to send you to the bathroom or leave you doubled over with trapped wind. Particularly if you are wearing a fitted Summer outfit!
I have trawled the web and found my pick of suitable Christmas recipes so that you don’t miss out on the fun.
Low FODMAP Christmas Starters
Cucumber and Dill Infused Cottage Cheese
And of course my Christmas Caprese Wreath (see image below). This is a breeze to make, with some Bing Crosby carols in the back to get in the mood.
Simply place a grape tomato, mini mozzarella ball and basil leave on a toothpick and decorate on a round platter. Voila!
Low FODMAP Mains
Spiced Cherry Bourbon Glazed Ham
Chicken and Rice Vermicelli Salad
Sweet Treats
Dark Chocolate Dipped Rice Cakes
Berry Pavlova – substitute with Lactose Free thickened cream

I hope this has provided you with some fresh ideas for Christmas food minus the digestive upset.
As always, thanks for stopping by!
