Join the discussionI had no idea there had been a diet developed for IBS. I was diagnosed back in the late ’90s and have controlled mine with diet but this is AMAZING! Thanks for this recipe. I have research to do. ๐
Yes! And stay tuned Linda as we will have a full mini menu just for you in January ๐
my daughter has been on the low FODMAP diet due to IBS for six months and I’m just looking for recipes to stock the freezer as we are expecting a little one in six weeks. So perfect timimg with this recipe, thanks!
Stephanie then you’ll be even more excited as we have a FODMAP mini menu coming in January!
Stephanie, I am also expecting a little one in 2 weeks and have been looking for Low Fodmap easy meals. Please let me know what you found! Also, I have a blog of my recipes I’ve adapted for Low Fodmap, check it out and see if it’s helpful to you. (I need to add a lot more, but will over time) http://www.thriftykitchen.wordpress.c...
Made this tasted good except our red wine was not the best choice truly do a dry red wine and not something cheap lesson learned
Yes Bree, even though the temptation is to use any wine for cooking, the rule of thumb is to use a wine you would normally drink. Glad it still turned out ok!
Do you have any suggestions for an alternative to the red wine? Due to intolerance I avoid alcohol even in cooking.
You could just sub more beef broth in place of the wine. Enjoy!
YOU HAVE A LOW FODMAP MEAL!
YOU HAVE A LOW FODMAP RECIPE! This is a miracle. Please bring us more! Although …I’m not sure mushrooms of any kind are ok on Low Fodmap. Beef broth is also risky because I have yet to find a commercial version that doesn’t contain onion & garlic. I only use broth if I can make my own. Also, you should be sure to mention that Low Fodmap followers should only use the green portion of the green onions.
Thanks for the tips Ashley! We also have a low FODMAP menu if you haven’t seen it- https://onceamonthmeals.com/fod…. Glad we could help and we will definitely have more recipes in the future.
Ashley I use low fodmap stock cubes made by Massel, can get them from Amazon. As far as I am aware tinned mushrooms & oyster mushrooms are low fodmap ?
Thanks for sharing this great info with us, Lisa!
I’m just about to begin Low-fodmap diet and I am 99% sure Mushrooms, onions are a clear do not eat. I also thought red wine is a no go items. As are tomato paste (unless home made) and store bought broths. IS this not so?
Maren – Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are reevaulating the FODMAP guidelines and will be updating this post to reflect.
Green Onions, also called Scallions if you use just the green part are fine. But, yes Mushrooms I understood were a high fodmap food.
How many people will this serve?
This will serve 6.
OH, read to the bottom of the recipe! no need to reply, however I must use a gas oven, any suggestions? thanks, BB
Here’s a post that looks at how to convert slow cooker times to oven times. ๐ http://www.apronfreecooking.co… So you could to 1-1.5 hours in the oven at 325 degrees F.
The bone broth from Kettle & Fire has organic onion, which is not low fod map.
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. We’ll re-evaluate this recipe and update it appropriately. In the meantime, you could substitute another beef broth that does not contain onion.
I’ve just been put on a Low FODMAP plan and the guidebook I have from hospital says Oyster Mushrooms are ok, although I appreciate everyone is different. ๐
We followed this recipe and added canned mushrooms, which throughly rinsed are OK in certain qualities with FODMAP. Usually avoid canned vegetables but once they’re cooked for 6hrs they’re good. Also I use ‘Massel 7’s Beef Stock Bouillon Cubes’ which have no onion or garlic. They come in beef, chicken and veg. They are an Australian brand and we can get them in the UK from Amazon. Thanks for the delicious recipe!
Fody Foods has Vegetable and Chicken broth that is low/no FODMAP. Either one will work even in a beef stew, and I usually add a dash of Worcestershire sauce. I have also found that Better Than Bouillon Roast Chicken variety specifically has no onion or garlic in it. Of course if youโve done the elimination phases and the garlic/onion doesnโt bother you then you can use regular broth, yay! Unfortunately, for my husband, garlic and onion are the two worst culprits!
