FODMAP cookbooks
Not being able to eat tasty food when you follow the low FODMAP diet? I don’t believe in that! There are still a lot of nice things that you can make. Below, I have collected my favourite low FODMAP cookbooks that you can get inspiration from when cooking low FODMAP. How wonderful is it to open a cookbook and to be able to make every single recipe from it? That’s possible with the cookbooks below! I also share my favourite informative books about IBS and the low FODMAP diet.
There are quite some cookbooks available that say that they are suitable for the low FODMAP diet, but that is not always true and some cookbooks contain old / incorrect information. Therefore, I always advise to check the reviews to make sure that a cookbook is suitable for the diet.

The GUT-FRIENDLY COOKBOOK
The gut-friendly cookbook is a low FODMAP cookbook with over 100 recipes written by Alana Scott from the blog A little bit yummy. Alana was the first FODMAP blog that I found when I started my own FODMAP journey and I was so grateful for the delicious recipes and accurate information that she shared. Her book is exactly what I hoped and expected after reading her blog for years. The book contains delicious, simple to make recipes and next to that, it offers you guidance through the low FODMAP diet with a short guide on the diet and handy tips and tricks. The beautiful pictures with each recipe make the recipes even more appealing for me.
The book is allergy-friendly and every recipe also has a symbol that tells you if the recipe is gluten-free, lactose-free, dairy-free, egg-free, nut-free or soy-free.

Eat yourself healthy
Eat yourself healthy by Dr. Megan Rossi is one of the best books about gut health that I have read until now. This book is mainly an informative book about gut health. Megan gives a very clear explanation about how your gut works, what the gut bacteria and microbes do in your gut and what their influence is on your gut health. She talks about different types of symptoms, where they can come from and tells you what you can do to improve your gut health.
It is a guide that helps you to control your gut issues step-by-step. The recipes in the book are not all low FODMAP because Megan talks about different kinds of gut issues and a diet as strict as the low FODMAP diet is not necessary for all kind of gut issues to improve symptoms.
The recipes are a nice bonus, but for me, this book is already a must read only for the information that it contains. It is a very interesting read for everybody with gut issues or an interest in gut health.
