Notes
*In 2022, the low FODMAP amounts for peppers and tomatoes were changed. Red bell pepper and tomato are both high in fructose in larger quantities and are therefore no longer so easy to combine. In the elimination phase I would advise using either tomato OR bell pepper in this recipe.
**Cottage cheese contains lactose and is therefore low FODMAP up to 36 gr per portion. I always take a lactase pill myself when I eat products that contain lactose and therefore I take a bit more. If you don’t want or can’t use this I would limit the amount of cottage cheese to 36 gr. Instead of the extra cottage cheese, you could add some lactose-free cream cheese or Crème Fraiche if this is available.
