Good to know
Potatoes are naturally low FODMAP and one of the most useful foods on the diet. Boiled, baked, mashed or roasted, they are a filling base for meals while you avoid wheat.
Keep the skin on for extra fiber, which helps if constipation is part of your IBS. For mash, use lactose-free milk and butter. Watch store-bought fries, wedges and hash browns, which are sometimes coated in onion or garlic seasoning.
