I was about to say that ginger is fine, but you've already seen that now. Asafoetida powder is supposed to be an alternative to garlic.

Hing (asafoetida) is the solution for non-garlic/onion eaters.
I'm sure I can come up with something (and so can you!) with all those lovely ingredients.

Yes asafetida is used by certain religious sects in India in place of onion and garlic both of which are regarded as impure. Ginger isn't a substitute but a most useful addition.

I know that there are pet products for animals with sensitive tummies that contain ginger so it makes sense that it would be good for humans, too.

Sweet potatoes and pumpkin are also good for pets with sensitive digestive systems, so again...

Oh, yes please. I can have spices, but not garlic, onions, whites of leek.

Veg I can have are:

Carrots, potatoes, parsnips, radishes, lettuce, spinach, bok choy, kale, rocket, bell peppers (not red), cucumber, green beans, tomatoes (small amount), courgette and broccoli head (not stalk).

I usually use a lot of pulses and tomatoes, but obviously they're out. Coconut milk is good though, so that will help for a curry.

I've been looking at soups and found I can do miso with veg and buckwheat noodles, so I try that tomorrow.

I do need to do more reading this weekend. Why no otato skin or broccoli stalks?

Carrot and ginger soup will be your best friend. Especially during reintroduction. Make up a big batch and portion it up in the freezer for flare ups. Cooking will not be on your agenda. Keep your portions small and regular. Hope you feel better soon
