Is Sushi Low FODMAP? - casa de sante

Some people with IBS struggle with going out to eat. It’s much easier to work out what food are, or aren’t low FODMAP when you’re at home, so eating out can be a bit of a nightmare. However, sushi is low FODMAP, so is often a safe choice. Although, you do need to be sure that the rice hasn’t been made with high fructose corn syrup, which would make it high FODMAP.

If you don’t want to go out to eat, but you still want a easy, delicious, low FODMAP sushi meal, then try one of these recipes.
