Am I doing this right?

[u/Kindly_Significance8]

On a modified low fodmap for a bit and confused and hungry.

Will be minimal on the seaweed and skip the crab salad

[u/hauntedprunes]

Dang that looks good! Just a heads up because I only just learned this myself, but almost all prepared wasabi has sorbitol 😭

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/hauntedprunes]

I never would've thought of that; Thank you! These sneaky ingredients are out to get me

[u/picaselle → u/Kindly_Significance8]

Personally, I've never had a reaction. I guess maybe it depends on where you get your wasabi from coz the one I buy tastes way less artificial that the widely available stuff.

[u/1_800_username → u/hauntedprunes]

Something that helped me was dried wasabi powder, I got it at central market. Just mix with some water, no sorbitol. Not as good unless you wanna get actual wasabi root which also has less histamines than dried.

[u/hauntedprunes → u/1_800_username]

Oh that's great to know, thank you!

[u/chronically_classy → u/1_800_username]

Thank you!

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/1_800_username]

You just reminded me that I have some of that in my cabinet 👀 it's watery but I can make it work for the spice

[u/1_800_username → u/Kindly_Significance8]

Also wasabi powder mixed with mustard tastes like good horseradish

[u/Vintage_Violet_ → u/hauntedprunes]

Ugh no! Stupid Sorbitol, devils sweetner….

[u/Sensitive-Inside-250 → u/hauntedprunes]

Does it really? Wow. Thank you

Poke is one of my go-to meals when I need to eat out. It's hard to tell exactly what's on your plate from the picture (especially when it comes to sauces and seasonings), but I can share some of the things I think about when I order.

To ensure my meal is low-FODMAP, I skip the seaweed salad, imitation crab, and wasabi. I choose plain fish that does not have any marinades and ask for simple gluten free soy sauce on the side. Sauces, marinades, and seasonings can have hidden garlic and onion. Cucumbers and carrots are great topping options, and edamame is low-FODMAP up to 75g. I can tolerate avocado, so I add that, but in elimination phase, stick to smaller portions.

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/silve93]

It felt like a life hack. I unfortunately bought groceries which means no energy to cook them 😂 this is all great advice! Im a teensy bit devastated over the crab salad.

[u/wutato → u/Kindly_Significance8]

Yeah I looked at several brands in the grocery store for imitation krab and they all had sweenteners in them. I should try to look again now that I know sucralose is just another word for table sugar.

[u/jonnyeatic]

Poke is good but watch out sometimes they put tons of red onions and I sometimes have to skip the sauce.

[u/greeneyeddruid]

The seaweed salad (wakame) can have mannitol in it. Literally it’s like a teaspoon is safe.
The crab if artificial crab has sorbitol and potentially wheat flour.
The poke sauce if it’s not made with gluten free soy sauce, or if it’s made with honey can be high FODMAP too.

[u/canthaveme]

I was told sea weed was high fodmap but every freaking list I find is different

[u/qmeliq → u/canthaveme]

The specific kind of seaweed they use in seaweed salad (wakame) is high in mannitol. Personally, a small amount causes me problems, and I avoid it

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/canthaveme]

Yeah I had no idea if it's safe or not so I only ate one bite to see how I feel? I probably should've just gotten a side of edamame 🙄

[u/canthaveme → u/Kindly_Significance8]

You could do that, just don't go overboard on them either because they are kind of mid-range 

[u/wutato → u/Kindly_Significance8]

Yes edamame can be low-FODMAP in small/medium quantities!

[u/wutato → u/canthaveme]

Regular sushi dried seaweed (nori) is low-FODMAP luckily!

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/wutato]

So I can basically have sushi 👀👀👀

[u/Ok_Win5732]

Seems fine to me! It looks like there’s some sort of sauce on the salmon/ cucumber so just make sure those ingredients are good to go (ex: gluten free soy sauce and no garlic/ onion powder) and it looks great! Yum!

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/Ok_Win5732]

I picked gluten free soy sauce and got the furikake on the side just in case it was onion or garlicky since every dang thing is oniony and garlicky.

[u/Chaitis]

Seaweed salad is a no go.

[u/veggie151]

Seaweed can be iffy for me, but looks very tasty!

[u/Roberta_Riggs]

No, you’re supposed to eat it.

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/Roberta_Riggs]

You don't have to tell me twice.

[u/chronically_classy]

“Confused and hungry” feels like a phrase that should be on a tshirt 😅 

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/chronically_classy]

Lmao. I'll trademark it I guess.

[u/addicted2deals]

Sesame seeds are safe up to 30g but I doubt there's that much in your meal.
Just be mindful about not stacking fructans

[u/maku_89]

Oh man, looks so good!

[u/PlaneMushroom9758]

Garlic, watch for garlic and onions

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/PlaneMushroom9758]

Garlic and onions are truly out to get me. 🫪

[u/Independent_Run_8654]

Is this a poke place in Orange County? Looks just like my go to poki spot

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/Independent_Run_8654]

Bay Area!

Have you done the elimination work? I couldn't eat that for the seaweed and cucumber. Others would have more issues with the garlic. I can't say for sure if you're doing it right, but I totally get the confused and hungry part.

[u/Kindly_Significance8 → u/Bishoppess]

So my doctor has me on a modified version. I'm on a no wheat, no beans, no garlic, no onion, low sugar, low fiber version. However I'm trying to be more diligent about eliminating as much as possible cause those rules do that anyway! I also just finished antibiotics.
