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.

Muffin papers
3/4 cup Tom Sawyer Gluten-free flour
¼ cup buckwheat flour
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Low FODMAP Pasta with Tomato Sauce

3 celery sticks, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 cup water
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Small bunch of basil leaves
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
16 ounces rice or quinoa pasta, cooked

Combine the celery and carrots in a pan with the olive oil. Cook over medium heat about 10 minutes, until the veggies are soft. Add the tomatoes, and turn up the heat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, water, and vinegar. Give it a good stir, cover, and bring to a boil. Uncover and simmer for up to 30 minutes, stirring now and then. Once the tomatoes have broken down and the liquid has reduced, add the basil, take the pan off the stove and puree the sauce in a blender. Serve over cooked pasta.

Low FODMAP Better than Pollo Loco Chicken Thighs

6 ounces pineapple juice
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon finely minced jalapeno, seeds included
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 1/2 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Mix all marinade ingredients in a 2-cup measuring cup. Place chicken in zipper-top bag, pour marinade in and squeeze out air from bag before sealing. Massage chicken in bag to make sure all pieces of chicken are bathing in marinade. Marinate in refrigerator for half a day, or overnight; turn bag occasionally to ensure chicken is entirely covered. When ready to grill, remove chicken from marinade (discard marinade) and grill chicken over medium heat until done, about 20-25 minutes, turning once for nice grill marks.
