I first developed this recipe when I was diagnosed with IBS. I was struggling to find foods that I could eat without triggering my symptoms, and I was missing my favorite Mexican dishes. I experimented with different ingredients and flavors, and I finally came up with a recipe for nachos that I could enjoy without any problems.
I've been sharing this recipe with friends and family for years, and it's always a hit. It's a great way to enjoy a delicious and satisfying meal without having to worry about your stomach.

Why It Works
The low-FODMAP tortilla chips are made with a blend of gluten-free flours that are easy to digest.
The guacamole is made with ripe avocados, which are a good source of healthy fats and fiber.
The salsa is made with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, which are all low-FODMAP vegetables.
The cheese and toppings add flavor and texture without causing any problems.
