·Make a roasted vegetable salad using sweet potato, capsicum, Jap pumpkin, parsnip and zucchini and dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar

·Make a cheese and salad sandwich full of low FODMAP vegetables. You’ll need low FODMAP bread (e.g. sourdough spelt), cheddar cheese, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, grated carrot, lettuce and grainy mustard.

·If you’re having a barbeque, be sure to add some vegetables to the hot plate by making meat and vegetable kebabs or roasting corn and capsicum

Dinner

·Add grated zucchini, grated carrot and spinach leaves to your favourite bolognese recipe

·Have a meat-free night once a week at home. Many of your favourite casserole / curry / stir fry recipes will be just as nice with legumes or tofu substituted for meat. Low FODMAP meat alternatives include firm tofu, canned chickpeas and canned lentils.

·Make a low FODMAP pizza using a gluten free wrap for the base, tomato paste, semi-dried tomatoes, olives, red and green capsicum, pineapple, roasted Jap pumpkin and ham.
