4 Low FODMAP Keto Recipe Ideas (Yes, They Do Exist)

We’ve talked about IBS and gluten-intolerance, we’ve mentioned the lactose and low FODMAP connection, but this is the first time we’re discussing low FODMAP keto recipes!

The major difference is that while the keto diet is more of a health and lifestyle choice, low FODMAP was specifically designed to reduce the uncomfortable symptoms associated with IBS.

We’re firm believers that you can dip your toes into both diets, especially since keto tends to be restrictive of many of the foods (sugars, certain starches, alcohol) that low FODMAP dieters are asked to stay away from. If you follow a low FODMAP diet and the keto diet, too, these 4 low FODMAP keto recipes are delicious proof that you can satisfy both sides. While some require minor modifications, others are good-to-go just the way they are.

What is the Keto Diet?

If you’re wondering what the keto diet is and how it works, it’s essentially a super low-carb, high-fat dieting model that is designed to trick your body into burning fat instead of the carbs it normally burns. This state is referred to as “ketosis.” Proponents of the diet say that weight loss, higher energy levels, clearer skin, and an overall healthier state are some of the benefits of maintaining this lifestyle. The strictest aspect of Keto is severely limiting your carbohydrate intake. That means cutting down on sugar, only eating low-carb dairy products, and eliminating your alcohol intake, if possible.
