Guide to the Perfect Low FODMAP Sandwich
While there may be some controversy over the order of stacking it, we can all agree a delicious sandwich includes a few staple categories – protein, veg, condiments and most importantly BREAD. Things get tricky though when you have digestive issues that make bread or certain foods hard to digest. Don’t worry, we’ve got your back… or gut? We’ve narrowed down sandwich specific foods that are also low in FODMAPs and tummy-friendly.

Here’s some recommendations to get you to fall in love with bread, and sandwiches, again!
Breakfast:
PB & J LowFODTM French Toast
Use egg and coconut milk to prepare your French Toast from two slices of our LowFODTM Loaf. Cook in butter or coconut oil. Generously scoop fresh sliced strawberries and raspberries between two slices, and drizzle with natural peanut butter. This one requires a knife and fork!
Lunch:
LowFODTM “Salad” Sandwich
There’s a lot of variety for this one! Pick your protein: Hardboiled eggs, shredded chicken, flaked tuna, or scrambled tofu and mix with cucumber, scallions, mayonnaise, mustard, salt & pepper. Top with crisp lettuce. Try this one on a LowFODTM Bun!
Dinner:
LowFODTM Mediterranean Sandwich
This warm sandwich is perfect for a week night dinner that really hits the spot! All it takes is some grilled zucchini seasoned with olive oil and salt & pepper, cooked chicken breast or tofu, topped with crumbled feta or Parmesan (your choice!) and crisp lettuce for a crunch. Tastes equally delicious on sliced LowFODTM Loaf or a Bun!
