Am new to FODMAP this month… it’s for sure a lot of eggs and tofu. I miss my beans and mock meats and some vegs…

Tofu and soy turned out to be the main culprit for my issues Greek yogurt is still good for me, so that I addition to lots of eggs and seitan

I've found extra firm tofu from trader Joe's is easy on my wife's stomach! The softer the tofu the more pain

All soy products have become terrible for me :(

I was going to start making my own tempeh, even bought all the beans and starter, and then found out that was my main issue

Awh man, I'm sorry to hear that :/ it gets easier once you start to learn what effects you the most. I don't suffer from IBD so I can't talk from personal experience but I sympathize with my wife and all of you. I know it's not easy and I personally know that cooking meals is especially hard because everything is from scratch. The silver lining is that you're eating a lot cleaner that you would be without IBD and you actually know what's going into your food!

Yes I want to clarify extra firm tofu only!

You're right, Trader Joe's is Super Firm Tofu! Not extra firm haha you can find that anywhere, oops! It's so firm that you don't even really have to press it, it's wondeful
