For my loyal readers regarding this comment. I base my recipes on Dr. Allison Siebecker’s SIBO Specific Low FODMAP (SSLD) protocol, which is slightly different from Monash University’s FODMAP guidelines that many people are familiar with.

For example, the SSLD protocol allows small amounts of honey (under 2 tablespoons) as low FODMAP, whereas Monash does not list honey in the same way. Similarly, I only use the green tops of scallions and garlic-infused oil, which are both well accepted as low FODMAP in both systems.

I always encourage readers to use the approach that works best for them. If you’re following Monash’s food guide and honey doesn’t fit into your plan, you can simply omit or substitute it.

My recipes are written with care for people who, like me, have found relief using Dr. Siebecker’s protocol. Please keep in mind that different low FODMAP guidelines exist, and respectful discussion is always welcome here.
