I use Gourmend brand Garlic scape powder and green onion powder. It has made a big difference. I’m Italian so not being able to eat garlic and onions was so difficult. I can use these powders and they taste great. I have tried the garlic infused oil but these powders are more versatile.

Garlic granule powders? I might try them

Yes, the garlic granules (powder) is from organic garlic scapes and the onion granules (powder) is from organic scallions- green tops only. Excellent flavor and IBS safe.

I'm going to try the garlic infused oil! In my thirties, I have developed severe intolerance to raw garlic and any kind of onion, cooked maybe a bit less problematic, depending on the amount, but it can be a nightmare when eating out. I found some digestive enzyme pills that help somewhat, but it's not a perfect solution. I love their flavour, so I miss them a lot...

Sadly very common! I love garlic too 🧄

Love this approach. The low fodmap diet is very tricky, even for most dietitians. Definitely need a dietitian that specializes in it, as you said.

I do eat garlic but very much in moderation, say once a week or biweekly. We all love it for the flavour. However I’ve found instead using spices like turmeric, cloves (ground if frying), fennel seed and cardamom to be very settling for my gut. Mixing from scratch and coating any meat, fish or tofu etc an easy quick dish. Sweet potatoes are another ‘settler’
