Editorial Team & Content Standards

How our content is created, sourced, updated and corrected

LowFODMAPRecipe.com is an independent recipe and education site for people following a low FODMAP way of eating, usually because of IBS. Recipes, guides and tool pages are written and reviewed in-house by our editorial team.

We do not employ a clinician, and nothing on this site is written by, or reviewed by, a named healthcare professional. We say that openly so you can weigh our content for what it is: practical cooking guidance and plain-language education, compiled from publicly published FODMAP research and from cooking and testing our own recipes.

Anything involving your health — starting an elimination diet, reintroducing foods, or managing ongoing symptoms — should be discussed with a doctor or a qualified dietitian who knows your history.

What We Publish

Develop and test low FODMAP recipes, kept free of onion and garlic, with clear portion guidance.

Write plain-language guides explaining the low FODMAP approach, food groups and common pitfalls.

Build free planning tools — food lookup, recipe conversion, meal planning, shopping lists and symptom logging.

How We Research and Review

Compiled from published research: FODMAP information on the site is compiled from publicly published FODMAP research. We are not affiliated with, certified by, or endorsed by any university or certification programme.
Portion size is always stated: Many foods are suitable in small servings and problematic in larger ones, so we give portion guidance instead of simple "safe / unsafe" labels wherever it matters.
Reviewed before publishing: Every recipe and article is read through by our editorial team for accuracy and clarity before it goes live, and updated when we spot something out of date.
How we cite sources: When we reference outside research, apps or named experts, we link to the original source and describe it accurately. We do not claim lab-tested FODMAP values of our own.
Health-language standards: We avoid words like "guaranteed", "cure" or "safe for everyone". We describe foods by serving size, preparation and individual tolerance rather than absolute yes/no rules.
Affiliate transparency: Some product reviews contain affiliate links. They are labelled on the page, they never decide our verdict, and we do not describe a product as certified unless that specific product carries a verifiable certification.
Corrections and updates: When a reader or our own review finds an error, we correct the page. Content dates change only when the visible content is meaningfully updated, not for small wording or link edits.
Educational, not medical: We do not diagnose, treat or promise outcomes. Individual tolerance varies, and our content is not a substitute for individual clinical care.

Important Note

Everything on LowFODMAPRecipe.com is provided for educational and general information purposes only. It is not medical advice and not a substitute for individual guidance from a doctor or registered dietitian. Dietary needs and FODMAP tolerance differ from person to person. If your symptoms are ongoing, severe, or changing, please speak with an appropriate healthcare professional.

Questions or Corrections?

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, we would genuinely like to know.
