FODMAP Notes

In this section, I share information for ingredients that are either frequently asked about or have suggested serving sizes to remain low FODMAP. We each have unique tolerance levels and nutritional needs. Please listen to your body (and, if possible, work with a FODMAP-trained dietitian) to determine what is best for you. For more low FODMAP serving size info, please refer to the Monash FODMAP app and FODMAP Friendly website or app.

Rolled oats are low FODMAP in servings up to ½ cup or 52 grams. Larger servings contain high amounts of fructans and GOS. If you're in the US, Quaker® Old Fashioned Oats (regular and gluten-free) are low FODMAP in slightly smaller 40-gram (or level ½ cup) servings. Quaker® Old Fashioned Oats (organic) are low FODMAP in servings of 32 grams or ⅓ cup.

Low FODMAP Milk: Some examples include lactose-free cow’s milk, or plant-based alternatives like almond, coconut, hemp, or macadamia. Serving sizes vary. Please refer to the Monash FODMAP app for more info.

Chia seeds have a low FODMAP serving of 2 tablespoons or 24 grams. Larger servings contain high amounts of fructans.

Raspberries are low FODMAP in servings of ⅓ cup or 58 grams. Larger servings contain moderate to high amounts of fructans. 

Instructions

Step 1: Place oats, milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, lemon juice, and lemon zest into a sealable container and stir to mix (or cover and shake). I like to use mason jars with reusable leakproof lids.

Step 2: Cover oats and refrigerate overnight (or at least 2 hours).

Step 3: Stir oats before serving. Serve cold with raspberries.

Storage: Refrigerate oat mixture in a sealed container for up to 3 days. Add raspberries when ready to eat.

Variations

Gluten free: Use gluten-free rolled oats.

Vegan or Dairy Free: Choose a low FODMAP milk alternative like almond, coconut, hemp, or macadamia.

Boost the Protein: Stir in vanilla low FODMAP protein powder. Depending on the amount used, you may want to add more liquid.

Blueberries: Sub out the raspberries for a low FODMAP serving of blueberries.

Frozen fruit: Use frozen raspberries instead of fresh. I like to add them after I have mixed all of the ingredients in Step 1, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
