Ingredient Notes:

Quinoa - This is considered a low FODMAP grain and can be consumed in moderate amounts, typically up to 1 cup (cooked) per serving. We wouldn’t recommend going above that!

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).
