Low-FODMAP Tofu Meal Ideas should answer one practical question: what can I eat without turning the meal into a guessing game? Use the recipes below as templates, not rigid prescriptions.

A lower-risk planning pattern is a visible base, a plain protein when relevant, a measured fruit or vegetable, and a flavor path that does not rely on garlic, onion, honey, wheat, lactose, inulin, or sugar alcohols hiding in small print.

Restaurant tofu can be marinated in garlic-heavy sauces; ask for plain or sauce on the side. This is educational meal planning, not medical advice.
