Broccoli is usually known to be "bad" or too gas-producing BUT if you just take the broccoli heads, then it's considered low FODMAP in a 3/4-1 cup serving. We all know how healthy broccoli is giving us, potassium, folate, Vitamin K, A and C. Two of these fritters would be a low FODMAP serving. They are super yummy and perfect for anyone with Colitis following a low FODMAP diet. 

For a simple low FODMAP meal, serve 2 broccoli fritters with a side of rice or quinoa and grilled fish or chicken.
