My heart is full of excitement as I write this. After months of hard work, testing recipes again and again, carefully crafting every sentence, my new book is finally published:
Low FODMAP Diet Explained – With 66 Monash Certified Low Fodmap Recipes
The low FODMAP diet is a science-based nutritional approach developed by Monash University, especially for people suffering from digestive issues such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), SIBO, and chronic bloating. The goal of the diet is to reduce certain groups of carbohydrates that can trigger symptoms like gas, bloating, and abdominal pain, helping the gut to calm down and heal.
FODMAPs (Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Mono‐saccharides and Polyols) are a group of dietary sugars that are indigestible or poorly absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. FODMAPs exert an osmotic effect in the bowel,resulting in increased movement of water through the small intestine. Slowly absorbed and indigestible FODMAPs are fermented by gut bacteria to produce gas, a process which can distend the bowel and in people with IBS, contribute to symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and altered bowel motility.
The low FODMAP diet involves eliminating these substances for a period of time, followed by a careful reintroduction phase to identify individual triggers. A low FODMAP diet should only be commenced under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Following the diet can bring significant relief, it soothes the digestive system, reduces bloating, and helps rebalance the gut. But implementing it is far from easy. It takes time to learn which foods are allowed, in what quantities, and which combinations might cause problems. The lack of reliable Turkish-language resources makes the process even more difficult.
I discovered the low FODMAP diet two years ago due to my own health challenges. The benefits I experienced, along with the struggles I faced during the process, led me to dig deeper into gut health and the low FODMAP approach. As someone who loves food, the hardest part was not knowing what I could eat. I missed the dishes I loved, struggled to find practical recipes, and eating out became nearly impossible.
That’s why I didn’t want to stop at developing recipes just for myself. I wanted to create a resource for others who love food but face limitations due to digestive issues, people like me. That’s how the idea for this book was born, and how I eventually connected with the Monash certification program. As the creators of the Low FODMAP Diet, Monash University also certifies recipes and products that meet Low FODMAP standards. This means every recipe in my book has been scientifically tested and officially approved as Low FODMAP.
Low FODMAP Diet Explained is not just a cookbook. It’s also a clear and practical guide for those new to the diet. The first part of the book introduces the basics: what the diet is, why it matters, and how to follow it step by step. I’ve kept the language scientific yet accessible, informative without being overwhelming.
The second part offers you 66 low FODMAP-friendly recipes. You’ll find familiar and nostalgic Turkish favorites, as well as classic global dishes like pizza and hamburgers, staples that have become part of our everyday lives. I wanted to show that even within the limitations of this diet, it’s possible to enjoy a satisfying, diverse, and delicious way of eating.
My hope is that this book reaches the people who need it and becomes a trusted companion on their journey toward healing and better health.
