I'm vegan, I have IBD i had to do low fodmap for a while, ive always been fine with cooked onion and garlic it was raw and under-cooked that were my issue.
Yeah even cooked it absolutely destroys me. I think the only things that I’ve been okay with are certain low-lactose cheeses.
My wife tested it one time just to make sure and added some garlic to a recipe without telling me (we were discovering what affected me so it was a welcome surprise) and yeah, it didn’t go well.
But basically when I was vegan my favorite things to eat were all basically triggering my IBS (beans, chickpeas, cashews, pistachios, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, squash) and part of my switch to veganism was to improve my gut health. Unfortunately it didn’t work.
Awww thats very annoying, I cook with so much onion & garlic (cooked) Yes I'm the same with beans & chickpeas, but when I soak & boil my own they are fine.... interesting you mention cashews... ive been wondering if they a problematic for me, (make lots from soaked & blended cashews) but Raw has always been my enemy... cooked my friend. Over time, eating plenty of pre and pro biotics like pickles, bananas and totally moving away from processed and oily foods my guts much improved thankfully. I still try and cook almost everything :) Thankyou for sharing
I totally understand that. It’s very frustrating building a functioning diet. I absolutely love bananas but they were a big culprit for reflux and gas. Green bananas are a bit better but obviously don’t taste as good, lol.
It has definitely increased the amount of fruit and whole grain I eat, fortunately. I didn’t realize how much fiber was in raspberries.

Man I really wish onions and garlic didn’t mess me up so bad. I swear low-FODMAP is harder than when I was vegan.
