Ingredient Notes:

Garlic-infused oil - Garlic contains fructans, a type of FODMAP, however, when garlic is infused in oil, the FODMAP content is significantly reduced. If you know you’re especially sensitive to garlic, it’s probably best give it a miss though and use normal olive oil! The recipe won’t miss it and your stomach will thank you.

Bell Peppers - They are low FODMAP in small to moderate amounts. The recommended serving size is typically up to 75g (about 1/2 cup) of diced bell pepper.

Tomatoes - Their fructose content can be problematic for a low FODMAP diet. Therefore, the recommended serving size is up to 75g (or 1/2 a medium tomato).

Lactose-free cheddar cheese - It is considered low FODMAP and can be consumed in moderate amounts, typically up to 40g (about 1/4 cup) per serving.
