Low FODMAP chicken stock and broth are hard to find at the grocery store, to put it lightly. And I live in California. They all have garlic and onion! Bouillon, it was the same story for me, everywhere I looked. I scoured Amazon and checked ingredient list after ingredient list as I watched girly TV (don’t judge; not even my breaks are true breaks).
I finally found a bouillon cube that doesn’t have garlic or onion, or anything Forbidden at all. And it wasn’t even advertised as such! Wild.
I’d like to introduce you to a very close friend I made in quarantine.
I’m not endorsed by Knorr – but I should be after writing this post. Either way, I had to share this discovery with my readers because it’s really helped me out with my weeknight pantry raid meals.
Sure, make homemade broth or stock for your soups and recipes any time you can. It’s no secret it tastes better, and is better for you. If you’re like me, though, that’s not always an option for you because you have other things going on. I’m here to tell you it’s fine. I’m also telling myself it’s fine. I’m not wrong.
This product does have MSG, and a small amount of citric acid. I’m at the beginning of my Interstitial Cystitis elimination diet, and this amount of citric acid and MSG doesn’t seem to be a trigger for me. You may want to avoid this if you don’t know your triggers yet, or you’re just starting out.
If you want to switch to another stock or broth to keep it even more IC-friendly, you can. Just keep the garlic and onion factor of most premade broths in mind if you ARE cooking for IBS and IC restrictions.
