Apple Cider Vinegar

[outdorsgrl]

I will be starting another W30 with AIP...and I am confused about apple cider vinegar. I am also following a low FODMAP. With a low FODMAP, I am supposed to avoid apples. Apple cider vinegar is made with organic apples. Should I be avoiding it?!?!?! Thanks! :-)

I would avoid it.

It's not filtered, so might be a trigger for FODMAP. Plenty of other vinegars, acv is preferred only for the "mother", have some kombucha instead

Thanks...I figured I would need to avoid it. What is the "mother?"

What is the "mother?"

 

What makes naturally fermented ACV great is the probiotic content. Other foods/drinks with probiotics include kombucha and sauerkraut, pickles, cultured carrots..basically there are lots of possibilities to get probiotics that don't include apple, so have some of those.

Gee, I didn't know we were supposed to avoid Apple cider vinegar.  I haven't used much - just through a little into a dressing yesterday.  I only chose it above other vinegars because of its reported health benefits.  I couldn't care less for it, really. 

 

So what vinegar should I be using?  Thanks.

Apple cider vinegar is great! The only reason to avoid it is if you are testing a low FODMAP approach. On the regular whole30 it's fine.

The "mother" is like the scoby in kombucha, it's the probiotic part. 

 

The only reason to avoid ACV is if you avoid apples because of the FODMAP content Apples and pears are very common, but for people who can't have FODMAPs, makes them feel really crappy in the stomach.
