Ingredient Notes:

Canned Tomatoes - Considering Tomatoes in large amounts can be an issue, it’s not surprising that canned tomatoes are on our ‘important notes’ list. It is recommended that you only have 1/2 cups of tinned tomatoes per serving.

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.
