The swaps are: A gluten-free Low FODMAP bun in place of a regular wheat bun, sliced scallion green parts in place of diced white onion, lime mayo for Mexican crema (that contains dairy and has not yet been tested for FODMAPs), and selecting a hot dog that is low FODMAP.
We use Ball Park brand Beef Franks that contain high FODMAP ingredients but are in such low amounts we have not had a problem with them. They have not yet been tested for FODMAP levels, however, at 1 dog per serving we find that they don’t affect our digestion.
To firmly establish what is in the “natural flavors” or “flavorings” ingredient of many hot dogs, companies must be contacted. At the same time, if the high FODMAP ingredients are listed as 2% or less they are unlikely to trigger symptoms based on the clinical experience of our FODMAP Everyday® dietitian friends.

Makes: 4
INGREDIENTS:
12 toothpicks placed in a small bowl of water to soak
1/4 cup (56 g) low FODMAP mayo, such as Hellmann’s/Best Foods Light
juice and zest of 1/2 lime
4 low FODMAP hot dogs
1, 1.4-ounce (40 g) slice of Monterey Jack Cheese cut into 4 sticks for filling the dawgs, optional to your tolerance
4, canned whole mild green chiles, such as Hatch Whole Mild Green Chiles or Ortega Whole Mild Green Chiles, drained on paper towels for 15 minutes
4 to 8 pieces bacon, depending on how long they are, to wrap around the dawgs
4 gluten-free low FODMAP hot dog buns or sandwich rolls, such as Schar brand that are Monash certified
8 scallions, green parts only, sliced thin
1/2 medium (50 g) Roma tomato, small diced
1/4 cup (35 g) jarred picked jalapenos, containing no onion, garlic or other high FODMAP ingredients, rough chopped
METHOD:
Heat your grill to medium
Mix the mayo, lime juice and zest in a small bowl and set aside.
Grill the hot dogs to make sure they have a nice char and are cooked through. Create a pocket by slicing them lengthwise 3/4 of the way in, but not completely through. Place the cheese sticks into each pocket.
