This Spiced Citrus Cranberry Sauce version is our “basic” cranberry sauce, based on the one our Moms taught us as children and the one that appeared on our holiday table every year. Remember portion control!
Low FODMAP Cranberry Horseradish Sauce
I can’t get enough of cranberry sauces and thankfully my cousin Judith is like-minded. When we go to her home for Thanksgiving there are usually 4 or 5 choices – my kind of gal. Even if you think that is overkill, I encourage you to have at least one sweet choice, and one that is more savory, like this Cranberry Horseradish Sauce.
STUFFING
Simple Sourdough Stuffing
Sometimes simple is best. This Simple Sourdough Stuffing combines low FODMAP bread with celery, leeks and scallions (green parts only, of course), fresh parsley and all of the traditional herbs like sage, rosemary and thyme.
Cornbread Bacon Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans & Pomegranate
I used to make a version of this Cornbread Bacon Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans & Pomegranate pre-FODMAP with a lareg quantity of onion, but I converted it to this fabulous low FODMAP version.
Sourdough Apple Stuffing with Sausage
One of our favorite stuffings, pre-FODMAP days combined sweet, juicy apple along with savory sausage in a bread stuffing base. This Low FODMAP Sourdough Apple Stuffing with Sausage will be enjoyed by everyone!

Pie Crust 101: Making the Perfect Pie

FODMAP Stacking: How to Safely Combine Foods at One Meal
If you’ve been following a low FODMAP diet for a while, you have probably come across the phrase, “FODMAP stacking.” Simply put, it refers to eating multiple portions of foods that contain FODMAPs in amounts low enough to qualify them for a Green Light in the Monash University low FODMAP Smartphone App.
While some Green Light items contain only trace amounts of FODMAPs and can be eaten freely, there are ones that need to be portion-controlled in order to keep their FODMAP content in check. Even if you maintain the recommended serving size of such foods, eating too many in one meal, i.e., stacking them, can lead to symptoms. Learn more here so you stay healthy throughout the holidays.
We also have an article specifically about stacking and holiday meals.
Alcohol? Yes, In Moderation
Can you drink alcohol on the low FODMAP diet? Yes! There are many low FODMAP alcohol choices for you, from wine, to beer to champagne. Vodka, gin, brandy and tequila even have low FODMAP serving sizes. Alcohol can be a gut irritant, so please know your tolerance levels and use best judgement.
Journey to Wellness: When Your Eyes Are Bigger Than Your Stomach
For my husband, an overfilled belly isn’t too much of a problem. For me, overeating means potentially a couple of days of not feeling well. I have had to learn that as great as the food looks, that the physical agony that might follow just ain’t worth it. And yet, I do on occasion overindulge.
Which Foods Have No FODMAP Content?
We encourage everyone who has a smartphone to download the Monash University app as we find it to be the most convenient and reliable on-the-go resource. We refer to ours all day long and actually get really excited when there are updates on new foods. And this article will show you which are some of our favorite no FODMAP foods! A companion article discusses foods with traces of FODMAPs. This info may come in handy when navigating the holiday food options.
How To Help Friends & Family Understand Your Low FODMAP Diet
Why can’t you eat onions? Why can’t you have more of that apple pie? Why? Why? Why? Ahh, the sweet sounds of a holiday meal as friends and family members ask about your low FODMAP diet. I understand the struggle. I’ve been there. I’ve walked into a family meal and have been bombarded with questions. Hopefully this article, How To Help Friends & Family Understand Your Low FODMAP Diet, will go a long way to smoothing things over.
