✅ For my IBS friends – Here are some tips and tricks to make this more IBS friendly!
- Use garlic-infused oil instead of chili crisp or choose a chili crisp made without garlic
- Use only the green tops of green onions
- Confirm your mayo is free of garlic/onion powder (or use homemade)
- Keep portion sizes moderate — large volumes of even low-FODMAP foods can cause symptoms
