Low FODMAP research 25/8/2014

Firstly I'd like to apologise for falling off the face of the earth for the last few weeks. We have had a very trying month. With my three kids facing anaphylaxis challenges daily, I have devoted my time to finding ways those with dietary restrictions can enjoy life without feeling that they are missing  out.

 

As most of you would be aware, I am compiling all my recipes to create a cookbook which i have finally completed. We are now at publishing stage so hopefully we will be ready to have it out there in the not too distant future. It also includes low FODMAP recipes, to cater for people with intolerance's to fructose, wheat, lactose, sorbitol and other FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides And Polyols) . This book will allow those with intolerance's, to cook with confidence, easy, quick, family friendly recipes.

 

I have many friends following the FODMAP diet and am very grateful to those who have helped me with my endless research and recipe testing and trialing. It is a difficult concept to wrap your head around as every individual is so different and everybody's triggers vary.

 

Lastly, the kids had their allergy testing (skin prick test shown below) again this week. We were hoping for a more positive outcome than previous tests with a reduction in allergies. Unfortunately we walked away with a further four allergies for our little man. So he now has, Eggs, Almonds, Peanuts, Cashews, Walnut, Pistachio, Hazelnut, dust mites, dust, mold, grass, cat fur and dog hair.  The girls remained the same so that is a positive.  : )

 

For those of you that are in the same situation, please feel free to contact me. If i can assist in any way, I would be more than happy to help. Even if you need to have a chat. I understand how difficult it is to live with a restricted diet.

 

Wishing you all good health,
