Vegan Quinoa Cakes
Earlier this week I posted a fantastic guest blog post about vegetarianism and the low FODMAP diet. It can be really tough to follow a vegetarian or vegan diet while completing the low FODMAP diet, but it is possible. I actually was a pescetarian for the first 6 months I was on the diet, but…
