There's low FODMAP vegan and there's just no logical reason she can't eat something other than animals. It's not ableist to call disabled people out on their bullshit, patronising them would be, and being disabled myself I hate when people do that.

Edit for more detail: Partner has IBS. He was vegan for a year, which was really tough because it involved preparing literally all food. Now he's mostly vegan but eats eggs and occasionally fish.


Veg-wise, we mostly have potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, zucchini, and green beans. I just made an amazing pasta dish where you julienne carrots, bell pepper, and zuchhini and sautee them, then toss with homemade parmesan (garlic oil, walnuts, nutritional yeast, salt in a food processor) and the herbed tempeh nuggets from that book I linked. SO GOOD!


Roasted fingerling potatoes, carrot, and zucchini tossed with Thyme, Olive Oil (garlic infused or not), and nutritional yeast (and salt/pepper ofc) is good as well.

​

There's a really good Indian-style chard, potato, and carrot recipe in that book as well. We make seitan "chicken" balls (they're just shaped like balls, we call them chicken balls lol) that go really well with them.

​

You can totally be vegetarian and low fodmap, even vegan and low fodmap. It does mean eating out a bit less and preparing more of your own food. But it's definitely doable.

​

For processed foods: If you're in U.S. you might try the Potato and Pea Samosas from whole foods (they have wheat but it's a small enough amount to not bother him, miraculously no garlic or onion!) and the Japanese Fried Rice from TJ he also can eat without issue. Both are vegan.

I'll just say that, based on a few accidental encounters with soy protein replacements over the past year, that if I ate what you're eating I would be exactly as sick as you are in the exact same way.

I was surprised to learn this, as beans were a staple of my diet for years, and never a problem. Until they were.

A few resources:

Buy the Monash app and live by it. Look up everything.

You can eat like half of all vegetables and fruit. So read up on those (Monash app) and eat the ones you can in the quantities you can.

Fats are AOK on Fodmap, so no problem there.

The difficulty is filling the protein needs of your diet. Beans and rice are a common approach but beans are pretty well out on Fodmap.

Canned lentils in limited quantities are good. Tofu in limited quantities, maybe. Quinoa. Rice is good.

Peanuts and some nuts good. Look them up, as Fodmap values vary.

If you can stretch your diet to hard cheese and eggs, that might be helpful.

I have gotten a lot of use out of this cookbook: Low-Fodmap and Vegan: What to Eat When You Can't Eat Anything https://www.amazon.com/dp/1570673373/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NDSxCb138AMJY

What I found I miss most are sauces and this book has some good ones.

I'm vegan, and my IBS switches from D to C (and everywhere else in between!). I've not had to go low fodmap, but here's a few resources that might help:

  • https://ibsvegan.wordpress.com/

  • http://thefodmapfriendlyvegan.com/

  • https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1570673373/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_x_7ejBybV5R0FJQ

    I don't know how good the recipes are, but they're definitely a start.

    Remember that veganism seeks to avoid animal products as far as is possible. If you are medically unable to be fully plant-based it's okay to eat some animal products. Ideally try to minimize your consumption of those products, and try to find the most ethical options.

    Seitan is a great source of protein and is okay according to the Vegan RD, but wheat is otherwise not okay. Quinoa is fantastic for you and really high in protein. I don't know if hemp is low fodmap, but it's really high in protein and I find it easy on my stomach.

    I'm not sure where bivalves fall on the fodmap spectrum, but they have a very rudimentary nervous system and don't seem to experience pain the same way that other animals do. Bivalves also do well in farmed environments, which means that harvesting them is less likely to damage oceanic ecosystems. If bivalves don't bother your stomach, they might be a good option for more ethical animal proteins.

Wow, I just hopped in here to see if anyone was in the same boat as me.

Been vegan for 15-ish years, I just started a low FODMAPs diet about 2 weeks ago as a recommendation by my (new) gastroenterologist. It's made a big difference. About a year I started becoming super bloaty after eating certain foods, in addition to farty and burpy. Occasionally I'd get pretty bad stomach aches and over all felt like crap. I've been super happier physically targeting low FODMAPs. Mentally however I've been a wreck. I actually had to take a couple days off of work because I was too stressed out on what to eat. Vegan low FODMAP is no easy thing.

Anyhow, one thing that did help was the book Low-Fodmap and Vegan: What to Eat When You Can't Eat Anything by Jo Stepaniak. I ended up buying both the paper back and ebook version just to keep it with me at all times. The recipes are handy, but above all else it has a bunch of really good list, like things you should throw into your grocery list and alternative ingredients. The section on sauce recipes is great.

The data within the Monash app is useful however the app itself (for Android) makes me want to throw my phone against a wall.

Lastly it's been hard being subscribed to r/vegan as there are so many good food photos that get posted, and I know I shouldn't have any of it. :(

I have the same problem. I have digestive issues for more than 10 years.

6 years ago I tried to go plant-based following advices on the internet telling me to eat only whole cereals, legumes, lots of "healthy" vegetables such as cabbage. It became really fast an absolute nightmare. After 2 or 3 months, I couldn't even go to work. I was in pain all the time, I was constantly sick and feeling weak. At this moment, I didn't find an other solution than to stop being plant-based because I was starting to have serious nutrient deficiency due to a constant diarrhea and frequent vomiting.

It went slightly better after I went back to my previous diet but I still had serious digestive issues. So I did lots of medical tests to discover that I had IBS. My issues are mainly related to stress and are worsen by a high fiber diet and some FODMAPS.

Once I had learnt enough, I felt confident to go back to a vegan diet. 18 months ago, I went vegan again and tried to avoid my previous mistakes. These are the things that worked for me :

  • Cabbages and whole grains are banished from my meals.
  • I avoid all the onion familly as much as possible : onion, garlic, shallot... Chives are the only one I can digest.
  • I eat legumes in low quantity and never two days in a row. I also discovered that if I make my legumes sprout for 2 days before I cook them, my digestion is really easier.
  • I eat low fodmap as much as possible. I found a great book about low-fodmap diet for vegan with wonderfull recipes (so that I don't have to eat only tofu and rice ;)) : https://www.amazon.com/Low-Fodmap-Vegan-What-When-Anything/dp/1570673373
  • I also discovered some kind of sweeteners which makes me really sick really fast, even if eaten in low quantity. It's the polyol family ( Maltitol, sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, and isomalt ). You may try to avoid them as much as possible because they can have a huge effect even when taken in low quantity.

    I hope these little tips may help you. However, if you never saw a doctor for these issues, I recommand you to see one. You don't have to tell them that you're vegan (I never did until I get the diagnosis). There are some diseases like Chron's disease or Celiac disease which could explain your issues and these diseases could affect your health very badly at some point.

There's a book you might like: Low-Fodmap and Vegan: What to Eat When You Can't Eat Anything.

Though you may find many vegetables to be off-limits (cauliflower, onion, garlic, etc), the bigger problem is usually protein when almost all legumes aren't allowed.

So almost all low FODMAP vegan dishes use one of the following for protein:

  • Tempeh
  • Tofu (extra firm only)
  • Soy protein isolate
  • Peanuts
  • Almonds (in small amounts)
  • Canned chickpeas (in small amounts)
  • Canned lentils (in small amounts)

    EDIT: Seitan might also be low FODMAP but AFAIK it's never been tested.

    Also, given you're a vegetarian, you may be willing to try Quorn. It's usually found with egg as a binder (so not totally vegan), and the vegan versions are rare and use pea fiber as a binder (so probably aren't low FODMAP).
