Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: FODMAPs and infusion?

Yes - I have completely eliminated them from my diet. I don't eat anything even in small amounts.

Caution about infusion. Infused garlic-oil is in the low FODMAP table in Gibson and Shepherd. You can infuse garlic into oil but not into water. The oligosaccharide dissolve in water but not in oil. So you can flavor oil and remove the garlic before using. However it can cause problems if you infuse garlic flavor into water. And substitute the green part from spring onions and chives for regular onions as they are low in FODMAPs.

BTW chicory (inulin or FOS) is used a soluble fiber supplement. It is a rapidly fermenting oligosaccharide that can produce a lot of gas and discomfort for some individuals with IBS.

Here is another FODMAP table that you may find useful. It says garlic and onions can be oil-infused.
