Eating a low-FODMAP diet (which stands for fermentable oligo-, di-, mono-saccharides and polyols)can truly help those suffering from food allergies or intolerances to certain foods, including gluten, dairy, legumes, and some fruits and vegetables. Eliminating these foods from one’s diet can ease stomach pain, bloating and symptoms of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), but it can also eliminate many favorite desserts.
Luckily, FodMap Desserts do exist that can satisfy even the strongest sweet tooth. Whether you crave chocolate-y treats or fruit-flavored desserts, you can tweak most recipes to work with a low-FODMAP diet.
Gluten-free flours, like almond or rice flour can be substituted when baking. Lactose-free cheeses can be traded for full-fat cream if you adore a good New York-style cheesecake. If you are a pumpkin lover, canned pumpkin fits the bill for most low-FODMAP diets, just make sure it is 100% pumpkin without added sugar.
