Low FODMAP Snacks (GF, V)
Today I thought I’d share some of my favourite low FODMAP snacks that I eat when my IBS flares up and I’m trying to be sensible. Some of them you would have seen on here countless times before, but others may be new.
All of these are vegan, gluten-free, and FODMAP friendly.
Fruit and nut mix.
***
Corn thins topped with dairy-free spread, marmite, avocado and grated carrot (sounds weird but I highly recommend it).
***
Banana and cashew butter on gluten-free toast.
***
Blood oranges. I cannot get enough of these at the moment; try to buy organic ones as they taste markedly better.
***
Corn thins with sunflower seed butter, melon and grapes.

If you have any questions about IBS and/or the low FODMAPs diet then please leave a comment or drop me an email and I’d be happy to help and share information. Also, I realise I haven’t done a full post on the low FODMAP diet which I can do in future if you guys fancy it?
Ok, your turn. What are some of your fave vegan snacks?
Where I live
Today was my scheduled day off (rather than my “ring in sick” days off previously) and luckily I was feeling so much better. Not 100% but defo getting there; I’m even looking forward to returning to work tomorrow.
As I’ve barely left the house since Friday night, today I had to get out. The perfect excuse: to shop for our trip to South East Asia (which is less than 2 weeks away; ahhh!). I haven’t done a good shop for summer clothes for years, and today one (Tom) could argue that I made up for it. I may have bought 5 dresses, and 2 tops; I don’t think I’ve ever bought so much in one trip. En route to the shops I decided to take a few snaps of the inner city area where I live to share with you.
I have a love-hate relationship with our area. On the one hand, it’s great living within walking distance of most places and friends. And I really appreciate the street art,
And the architecture.
But I’m not a fan of how rough it is, and that many communal areas become ruined,
Such as this park and green area (difficult to see from the picture). It’s not unusual to find used needles, cans of beer etc. around here.
However, our house is wonderful and I’ve grown incredibly fond of this little view from our kitchen window, where I always stand to prepare veg and our meals.
Tom and I have grand dreams of one day moving to a more rural area, preferably back in Wales. In the meantime, I will enjoy watching Escape to the Country and browsing Right Move for our dream home, which we can buy when Tom starts making millions. Did I ever mention that I always intended to marry rich? Shame I’m rubbish at following through on my plans.
Now if you excuse me, I am off to indulge in my final bites of chocolate before lent commences and henceforth my abstinence from the dark temptress.
Buh-bye!
