Low-FODMAP fish main courses

My husband makes fish every Friday for dinner so I need to be careful about where I put it in my part of the week. Here are a couple of low-FODMAP goodies.

Creamy Dijon-Dill Salmon
Mayonnaise plus lemon juice plus other good things makes a really nice marinade for all kinds of fish baked in the oven. Comes out moist and delicious. I might serve this with quinoa.

Fish Chowder
I don't have a recipe for this one except in my head. I sometimes cook bacon bits for the top of the soup, take out the meat and use the fat to start the soup. Start by frying up chopped swiss chard stems in butter or bacon fat as if it was onion or celery. Fresh thyme is good at this point. Add some diced potatoes and carrots and some chicken broth. Cook 10 minutes then add in pieces of white fish (haddock or cod is good) and the swiss chard leaves, chopped. Cook until fish is opaque, another 5-10 minutes. If sour cream is tolerated, stir in some sour cream (about 1/3 cup) or else dish yours out and stir in sour cream for the non low-FODMAP part of the family. Sprinkle with crispy bacon bits and pepper to serve. Serve with sourdough baguette.

FODMAP-Friendly in Montréal

The low-FODMAP diet was developed by researchers at Monash University in Australia and is an evidence-based method of improving symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The acronym FODMAP stands for F ermentable O ligosaccharides, D isaccharides, M onosaccharides and P olyols. These are groups of  short chain carbohydrates like lactose,  that can be rapidly fermented in the colon to produce symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea or constipation, gas and pain. The low-FODMAP diet consists of a 2-6 week elimination phase, an approximately 10-week reintroduction and testing phase, and periodic re-testing of small amounts of problem foods on an ongoing basis afterwards. FODMAPs are important food for your intestinal flora so the focus is not on permanent elimination (as for celiac disease, e.g.) but on finding a level that limits IBS symptoms. For the most current research results on FODMAP levels in tested foods, use the FODMAP app from Monash University. Here are some repu...

Good Food main courses to try

My new favourite podcast, The West Wing Weekly , is sponsored by Blue Apron. I recently discovered a Canadian equivalent: Good Food (based in Montreal!). Unfortunately a lot of high-FODMAP (but delicious) ingredients are featured in their food boxes, but they do post recipes online which means I can adapt the list of ingredients to omit the foods that cause me digestive troubles. Here are a few main courses which look delicous and could be modified to be low-FODMAP without changing the recipe too much. We had the shrimp (with green beans in place of snow peas and omitting the garlic and white parts of scallions) last week. I might try it next time with tofu becaise my toddler isn't a fan of shrimp. The other recipes I am looking to try in the next while. Bonus for francophones - the Good Food site is bilingual and all recipes are available en français.

Low-FODMAP Main Courses, Part 2

Here are some main course meals which I plan to try out this week for my recovery days from testing fructans in the low-FODMAP diet. Unfortunately wheat bread did not sit well with my stomach -- but knowing that information will help me feel better in the long run. I use a kitchen scale to weigh serving sizes according to the Monash University App. Please use your own judgement when choosing ingredients and serving sizes. Low FODMAP Chicken Satay Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles - ?? stars I plan to use fresh local vegetables grown by Fermes Lufa in their factory-roof greenhouses. Yay for fresh local greens in the middle of winter! http://www.fodmapfun.com/chicken-satay-stir-fry-with-rice-noodles/ Maple-Soy Glazed Salmon  - 5 stars This recipe works well on the low-FODMAP diet if I just omit the garlic. I have cooked it before and everybody really loves it, including my toddler. I will serve it with basmati rice, steamed carrots and slices of cucumber. http://thiswestcoastmomm...
