I have modified this classic bolognese dish so that it's not only low FODMAP, but it also contains some more vegetables (disguised), for the fussy eaters in my family and possibly in yours too.

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. That amount of oil would make it so greasy and it would make my IBS worse. I don’t use any extra oil at all, using chives for onion flavour.

    • Thanks for your comment Elizabeth. The extra virgin infused oil in this recipe (per serving), should be tolerated by most IBS sufferers, also I use premium minced meat, so that it’s a lean, not very fatty meat at all, which also helps. Sure you can use other herbs and spices to give taste, but as most Italian people…. I do love my extra virgin olive oil. 😉
