Easter Dinner

My dad saw this on Rachael Ray, so I modified by taking out the garlic and substituting green onions in the potato bake.

FODMAPS and Inflammation Factor

I created a spreadsheet based on the current research for FODMAPS and inflammatory levels of foods. I have been trying to follow the low fodmap diet with a great deal of success, but I still have a few flare ups, so I would like to try to control my inflammatory response naturally. Hopefully this spreadsheet will prove to be helpful.
