Low-FODMAP meal planning

IBS-friendly, gentle on digestion

Low-FODMAP is famously hard to cook for — onion and garlic are in everything, and the allowed-list is specific. Plate Planner’s profile bakes the pattern into every recipe it writes, swaps included.

It even knows the classic tricks: garlic-infused oil for flavour, the green tops of spring onions instead of the bulb.

What the profile does
What it plans with, and around
Planned with
  • Carrot, zucchini, spinach and potato.
  • Rice and oats.
  • Firm banana, citrus and berries.
  • Garlic-infused oil and the green tops of spring onions for flavour.
Kept out, or kept small
  • Onion and garlic — the two that hide in almost everything.
  • Wheat-heavy dishes and certain legumes.
  • Apple, pear, watermelon and mango.
  • Cauliflower and mushrooms.

Set it once, in seconds. Turn the profile on in your nutrition goals and every meal, swap, side dish and what-can-I-make suggestion respects it — for you, and for anyone you add to your table. Free, no account needed to start.

Common questions
Elimination phase or maintenance?

The profile applies a general low-FODMAP pattern suitable as a starting point. The strict elimination and reintroduction protocol should be run with a dietitian — use the planner to make the cooking part manageable.

Is everything guaranteed low-FODMAP?

No — recipes are AI-generated and thresholds are portion-dependent. Treat every recipe as a suggestion to verify, especially during elimination.

How do you get flavour without onion and garlic?

With the two substitutions the low-FODMAP world runs on: garlic-infused oil, which carries the flavour without the fructans, and the green tops of spring onions instead of the bulb. The profile is written to reach for those rather than simply deleting the aromatics and leaving the dish flat.

Will it put carrot and rice in everything?

It’s specifically instructed not to. The allowed list is treated as options to vary across the week rather than a short rota, which is the usual complaint about low-FODMAP meal plans.

Does it cover IBS generally, or only low-FODMAP?

The profile is the low-FODMAP pattern specifically. That’s the approach with the most structure behind it, which is what a planner can actually act on — other IBS triggers are personal, and you can add those as preferences.

Can I combine it with pregnancy or another need?

Yes. Low-FODMAP plus pregnancy-aware is a supported combination, as is any other pairing — profiles stack and every dish is generated against all the active rules.

Can it feed the rest of my family too?

Yes — that’s household mode. Add the others at your table and every dish is planned to work for everyone at once.

Do I have to pay?

No. Planning a week, the recipes, the nutrition numbers and the grocery list are all free, with no account needed to start.
