Dairy free and low FODMAP are two different things, although some foods can be both.

Dairy free means the food contains no dairy ingredients, key for people avoiding milk products, including those with a milk allergy or following a dairy-free diet. Low FODMAP means the food is low in certain fermentable carbohydrates that can trigger digestive symptoms in some people.

Top tips for following a Low FODMAP diet

Starting a Low FODMAP diet may feel overwhelming. Our top tip is to work with a Registered Dietitian specializing in gut health or your doctor for personalized advice. Here are some additional ways to get started trying Low FODMAP foods to see if they work for you.

 # 1 Focus on foods you like to eat. Include the Low FODMAP foods you already enjoy so you are not making many changes at once. General lists such as these what foods are high/low in FODMAPs - Eat with Confidence - FODMAP Friendly can be a helpful starting point

# 2 Read ingredient labels and/or use an app to help you find low FODMAP foods. FODMAP Friendly is a popular app that can help you identify certified Low FODMAP foods.

# 3 Stick to recommended serving sizes. Some foods are Low FODMAP only in their serving size amount but can become higher in FODMAPs in larger portions.

# 4 Keep a food and symptom diary to track what you eat and how you feel.

Keep in mind, a low FODMAP diet is designed to be temporary. After cutting out FODMAPs, you can gradually reintroduce foods to identify your personal triggers and build the most varied diet possible. Regardless of where you're at in your low FODMAP journey, Violife is here to help you "Undairy the Craving" every step along the way!"
