Whether you’re making your own homemade salad dressing, zesting up a bowl of soup, or prepping for pasta night with your own homemade sauce, Low FODMAP Italian Seasoning is another classic you’ll need in your pantry.
Because its original form is typically comprised of dried low FODMAP herbs as is, like basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and parsley, which are all low FODMAP, the main swap we made for our rendition was to use a low FODMAP garlic powder replacer, in lieu of conventional garlic powder (more below).

This recipe also includes crushed red pepper flakes for a gentle punch of heat. Though FODMAPs are not a concern with this ingredient, some with IBS don’t tolerate spicy foods well, so adjust to your tolerance.

Dear Team, thanks a lot for your recipes, they are amazing.
Unfortunately, I can not find a place (online ) where to buy the garlic replacer in Germany, it does not seem to exist in the market. Do you have any suggestions? Looking forward to learn more
Hi there, they really do not have equivalents, but I have reached out to some European FODMAP dietitians to see if we can find you a source. Stay tuned!
