Garlic lovers rejoice!

Following the Low FODMAP Diet can be tricky for those who are garlic obsessed.

However, there is a loophole!

How to follow the Low FODMAP Diet and get your garlic fix

Garlic is known to be high in FODMAPs due to its high fructan content, which can be problematic for people with IBS and other digestive sensitivities.

However, the good news is that the FODMAP compounds in garlic are not soluble in oil, meaning they don’t get released when garlic is infused into olive oil.

This allows the rich, aromatic garlic flavor to be infused into the oil without the FODMAPs that cause symptoms like bloating, gas, and cramping.

By removing the garlic pieces after infusing, you’re left with a beautifully flavored oil that’s safe for those following the Low FODMAP diet.
