Low FODMAP Shopping Guide


First, new to low FODMAP? read this first.

A low FODMAP elimination can be daunting at first, because there are a lot of teeny tiny ingredient labels to read, and lots of details. I’ve had so many clients ask about finding a simple and quick way of finding the essentials, so I’ve put together this list. I’ve linked on Amazon when possible for convenience. I’ve also listed local stores in the NoVA area if that’s more convenient. If links are broken, please let me know!

Please note: these products appear FODMAP friendly based on their ingredients. Most have not been specifically tested (except where noted with a ^)

Best NoVA area local stores for low FODMAP foods: Trader Joe’s, MOM’s Organic Market, Wegmans, Whole Foods. In Maryland, Roots is an awesome option, and Yes Market has great options in DC. However, some Giant & Safeway stores are now carrying a wider range of options, too. *please note, this post does contain affiliate links*
