Usually gravy is made with the drippings of roast meat, but it's possible to make meat flavoured gravy with stock cubes. In Australia Massel 7's stock cubes are considered low FODMAP

About Larah

I have been suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome for many years, but it took a longtime to get a diagnosis, since then I have been following a low FODMAP diet, which has changed my life for the better. This is my story and experience with IBS and the low FODMAP diet.

  1. I have recently received this email from a lovely follower, who tried this gravy recipe:
    “Great website, very helpful and informative! This evening I decided to give your low FODMAP gravy recipe a try and I must say, it far succeeded my expectations. Previously I have shied away from using butter in quantities larger than, say, half a tablespoon as I was worried that the fat content would cause me grief. Obviously we know that two tablespoons of butter are considered a low FODMAP serving size for most people on the diet, so I figured I’d persevere with your method and that I’d probably be okay provided I didn’t include anything else overly high in fat in the same meal. I halved the quantities for all the ingredients in your recipe anyway, as I’m the only person in our family who follows a low FODMAP diet so only needed to make half a jug full.

    It was absolutely sublime, probably one of the best low FODMAP gravies I’ve ever tasted! So, thank you for sharing it.
    …….
    Keep up the good work!
    Best regards,

    Ben.
